Les Clubs de jeux, version moderne des Cercles de Jeux, font le bonheur de tous les passionn\u00e9s de Poker et des Jeux de Contrepartie \u00e0 Paris. Et si on peut aujourd\u2019hui totaliser 8 Clubs, <\/span>la capitale fran\u00e7aise ne compte aucun casino<\/strong>, au plus grand damne des amateurs parisiens de roulette et de machines \u00e0 sou. La raison ? Des lois que les moins de 100 ans ne peuvent pas conna\u00eetre, datant de 1919 pour la plus r\u00e9cente, faisant de Paris une exception parmi les grandes capitales europ\u00e9enne.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

1806, premi\u00e8re r\u00e9glementation officielle<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was under Napoleon that the legalization of the first casinos and their regulations appeared. At that time, the Emperor wanted gaming establishments to be located far from cities, for reasons of morality. The objective was to protect the destitute at a time when poverty and misery were greater and more stark than today.<\/p>\n

1919, les casinos \u00e0 Paris ? c\u2019est non !<\/strong><\/p>\n

After the first casinos were opened in seaside, thermal, and health resorts with the aim of developing tourism, approved by voters on June 15, 1907, Parisian gaming enthusiasts at the time were impatiently waiting to be able to indulge in their favorite games. (Note that the opening of such establishments near spa resorts is limited to the summer season, a period popular among wealthy foreigners come for a treatment.) But no! In 1919, a law was promulgated, prohibiting betting games within 100 km (62 miles) of Paris.<\/p>\n

The spa town of Enghien-les-Bains, located 25 km (16 miles) from our beautiful capital, obtained an exemption in 1931, but without the game of boule. To this day, it remains the only exception and the only casino in the Greater Paris region.<\/p>\n

En France, de nos jours<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are nearly 200 establishments in France today, a European record. Among them are the Barri\u00e8re casinos, the Partouche casinos and the Joa casinos, representing the largest groups of French casino operators.<\/p>\n

Sp\u00e9cificit\u00e9 parisienne, les huit Clubs de Jeux (Club Pierre Charron, Paris \u00c9lys\u00e9e Club, Club Barri\u00e8re 104, Club Joa, Club Circus, Club Montmartre, Imp\u00e9rial Club et Club Berri) permettent de s\u2019adonner au Poker et \u00e0 des jeux traditionnels\u00a0: Texas Hold\u2019em, Omaha, Poker 21 (ou Blackjack Parisian Style), Punto Banco, Ultimate Poker, Poker 3 Cartes et Stud Poker.<\/p>\n

To play roulette and slot machines, which are not allowed in Gaming Clubs in Paris, you have no other choice but to go to a casino.<\/p>\n

Invented in San Francisco in 1887 by Charles Frey, the slot machine was a huge success in the 1920s. At the time, it consisted of three reels, with five different symbols (a heart, a spade, a diamond, a bell and a horseshoe). Authorized only in 1986 in France, slot machines had to wait until 1992 to infiltrate all of the country's casinos.<\/p>\n

The origins of roulette are a bit more vague. We know that it appeared in the middle of the 17th century. Several theories come up regularly. According to the most frequent, it was the invention of French mathematician and philosopher Blaise Pascal, who was influenced by the games of Italian Biribi and English Roly-Poly of the time.
\nIn 1860, when gambling was legalized in Monte-Carlo, roulette was a huge success, first in Europe and then in the United States.<\/p>\n

L’HISTOIRE DES CASINOS DANS LE MONDE<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A l\u2019origine, au XVII\u00e8me si\u00e8cle, un \u00ab casino \u00bb \u00e9tait une petite maison, au nord de l\u2019Italie, situ\u00e9e dans des contr\u00e9es lointaines des villes. Au milieu de rien, elles \u00e9taient des lieux parfaits pour y finir paisiblement sa vie, loin d\u2019un monde en pleine transformation. C\u2019est \u00e0 Venise, d\u00e8s cette \u00e9poque, que l\u2019on nomme \u00ab ridotto \u00bb, que l\u2019on peut traduire par \u00ab r\u00e9duit \u00bb, l\u2019endroit d\u00e9di\u00e9 d\u2019une maison o\u00f9 on joue \u00e0 des jeux de soci\u00e9t\u00e9, voire d\u2019argent : un salon de jeux.<\/p>\n

Badly transformed popularly, \u201ca ridotto\u201d became \u201ca redoubt\u201d from the 18th century. Such rooms, with many table games, multiplied throughout Italy, Austria, Germany, and England.<\/p>\n

From 1780, the term \u201ccasino\u201d would be used on a European scale, then worldwide, to designate such gaming rooms, thanks to the British who saw Italy as a fashionable travel destination at that time.
\nEntendu au sens \u00ab gentlemen\u2019s Club \u00bb, \u00ab maison de plaisance \u00bb, parfois m\u00eame \u00ab de plaisir \u00bb, le sens \u00ab maison de jeux \u00bb deviendra unique en fran\u00e7ais en 1850.<\/p>\n

The flourishing of such gaming establishments would extend throughout Europe and the United States, whose saloons will be the first gambling halls, then in Asia, and they would gradually become casinos as we know them today, each with their own national regulations.<\/p>\n

World capital of casinos, Las Vegas and its flagship establishments, such as the Rio (setting of the famous WSOP), the Bellagio, the Mirage, the Wynn, and many more, are now a mecca for all fans of gaming. Atlantic City is also a popular destination in the United States. For the past ten years or so, Macao (the Las Vegas of Asia) has become a flagship destination not to be missed, thanks to its games and tables with the highest limits in the world. To the point of dethroning Las Vegas? Time will tell.<\/p>\n

1990-2020, LES TRENTE VIRTUELLES<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Since the arrival of the Internet in the early 90s, many virtual casinos offering online gambling have emerged. The new El Dorado and a previously unregulated market, the French Act of May 12, 2010, on the Liberalization and Regulation of Online Gambling created the Online Gaming Regulatory Authority (ARJEL), in order to oversee and protect French players, and to combat illegal gambling offerings, and fraud.<\/p>\n

Since then, many online poker sites (Winamax, PokerStars), and sports and horse-racing betting sites (PMU, Unibet, Betclic, Parions Sport) have emerged in France. Like physical casinos in Paris, online casinos are totally absent in France. What if that was the next step?<\/p>\n

Et maintenant\u00a0?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Although the absence of casinos in Paris is an astonishing feature, the opening of eight gaming clubs in less than two years, and the opening of the online market allowing French, Spanish and Portuguese players to play together, suggests that the gambling world, as a whole, has a bright future in France.<\/p>\n

As for those who dream of a casino in Paris, the laws concerning Gaming Circles in Paris, dating back to 1901, were modernized and adapted to the market in 2018, to become Gaming Clubs: why couldn\u2019t it be the same one day for casinos?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/header>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
