House Gambling Meaning
Gambling house definition: a building operating as a business where money can be staked on playing games of chance Meaning, pronunciation, translations and examples. The activity or practice of playing at a game of chance for money or other stakes. The act or practice of risking the loss of something important by taking a chance or acting recklessly: If you don't back up your data, that's gambling. The House Edge is a term used to describe the mathematical advantage that the gambling game, and therefore the commercial gambling venue, has over you as you play over time. This advantage results in an assured percentage return to the venue over time, and for you an assured percentage loss of what you bet. The 'house' is the casino. And, let's say you go to a blackjack table and start playing with $100. You may lose some or you may win some. But, if you win, say $50, and you now have $150, you could put your original $100 back in your pocket and just play with the $50 you already won from the 'house' (you're 'playing with the house's money').
1744, 'public room for music or dancing,' from Italian casino, literally 'a little house,' diminutive of casa 'house,' from Latin casa 'hut, cottage, cabin,' which is of uncertain origin. The card game (also cassino) is attested by that name from 1792. Specifically as 'building for aristocratic gambling' by 1820, first in an Italian context.
[T]he term Casino [is] indiscriminately applied to a set of farm offices, a country-seat, a gambling house, and a game of cards ... [Jane Waldie Watts, 'Sketches Descriptive of Italy in the Years 1816 and 1817,' London 1820]
