The Famous People in Gambling

Gambling is a recreational activity prevalent in society today. Young
and old alike, people are getting hooked to what today's society calls
as the game of the lucky ones.

Generally, gambling refers to any form of activities that involves
taking the risk of betting the money or any kind of tangible items of
value, which sometimes depend on chance or the skill of somebody to
manipulate the game.

Since its inception, the profitability that gambling can offer to an
individual is endless. That is why gambling had continuously dominated
the world of chances.

However, even if gambling like blackjack, poker, and slot machines are
so popular these days, people still don't have any idea how it started
and who started it.

Here's a list of the people who, in some way or another, contributed
to the development of gambling.

1. The first ever slot machine, known as the Liberty Bell, was
invented by Charles Fey in 1985. Fey was a car mechanic in San
Francisco when he thought of inventing the Liberty Bell.

The first form of slot machine was made of three spinning wheels that
had three featured shapes: spades, diamonds, and hearts plus a
"cracked" Liberty Bell drawn at each reel.

It was on 1907 when an arcade-like machine maker based in Chicago had
thought of reproducing machines similar to that of Fey's. The
manufacturer was named Henry Stephen Mills. The machine was called
Operator Bell.

It was from this point that the slot machines have evolved until today's form.

2. In card games such as blackjack, nobody can ever tell how the game
started and who started it. This is because nobody tried to record it
for the purpose of history.

However, there were people who conceptualized the basic strategy for
playing blackjack.

It was in 1958 when Cantey, McDermott, Maisel and Baldwin had devised
a strategy that caused such commotion with both the statisticians and
the gamblers themselves.

These four people have created the basic strategy in playing the game
all using their hand calculators. After which, they created a book
known as "Winning Blackjack," which is now considered as one of the
most valuable strategies in playing blackjack.

In turn, this gave birth to what modern gambling now calls as the
"card counting techniques."

These are the people who have made the gambling world truly a
phenomenon. Though, there are people who do not accept them as great
inventors because of the negative effects of gambling in the society
today. Nevertheless, they have contributed a lot in gambling.
