Description

In this new program, we talk into the fascinating history of gambling in Spain.
From its origins with the Romans, who introduced the first games of chance with dices, to the creation of the National Lottery circa 1800’s, gambling has played a significant role in Spanish culture.
We explore the evolution of gambling through different eras, including the strict regulations imposed during Franco's rule, and how these laws shaped the industry.
All the way until today, where gambling has become a booming sector, with modern casinos and online betting taking center stage. Join us as we talk of the highs and lows of Spain's gambling history, the societal impacts, and the ongoing debates around this controversial topic.
Tune in now for an engaging and informative journey through this topic!
