Early Casino: Not For Casino Gambling Only

June 16th, 2008

Interestingly enough, the early casinos did not necessarily feature casino gambling, especially in the early days. One of the most famous establishments to use the casino designation–the Copenhagen Casino–was actually a theatre that was used for public gatherings as much as it was used for public performances. In fact, this building was the site of the mass public meetings to plan the 1848 revolution, which eventually led to the establishment of Denmark’s constitutional monarchy. The building itself was primarily known as a theater up until 1937.

Another famous “casino”–the Hanko Casino in Finland–was never used for casino gambling activities either. One of the most familiar structures in the country, it actually served as a banquet hall for the scores of Russian nobles who visited the spa resort in the area in the late 19th century.
