In modern English, a casino is a facility which houses and accommodates certain types of gambling activities.

The industry that deals in casinos is called the gaming industry.

Casinos are most commonly built near or combined with hotels, restaurants, retail shopping, cruise ships or other tourist attractions.

There is much debate over whether or not the social and economic consequences of casino gambling outweigh the initial revenue that may be generated.

Some casinos are also known for hosting live entertainment events, such as stand-up comedy, concerts, and sporting events.

Gambling is the of money or something of value (referred to as "the stakes") on an event with an uncertain outcome with the primary intent of winning money and/or material goods.

Gambling thus requires three elements be present: consideration, chance and prize.

The outcome of the is often immediate, such as a single roll of dice, a spin of a roulette wheel, or a horse crossing the finish line, but longer time frames are also common, allowing wagers on the outcome of a future sports contest or even an entire sports season.

In the context of casinos, comps are complimentary items and services given out by casinos to encourage players to gamble.

The amount of comps that a player is given usually depends on what game they play, how much they bet, and how long they play.

Most casinos have casino hosts who are responsible for giving out free items and contacting players to bring them back to the casino.

Pit bosses can also award comps at table games.

Most casinos now require a player to have a player's club or similar card, so that their play can be tracked and comps awarded.

Most casinos give away promotional merchandise or "swag" just for standing in line.
