Were there casinos back then?
I know of O men who take regular trips to Vegas and I would be shocked to learn of any rabbi who would OK it (esp for men). You see women dressed, er, less than tsnius, the entertainment, etc.

My husband and I started a weekly game with his friends (usually 6-10 pple show up), nothing too intimidating, just a $3 buy-in. I won last week! We've been playing for 3 months now and it's a lot of fun.
I would definitely like to go to a casino sometime and play for higher stakes. It would be fun to REALLY play for once.

Original amother: the reason for me asking is because someone told me its not allowed to go to the casino and play dice according to torah so I want to know if anyone else heard this. I love going to the casino. I havent gone in a while because I dont have that much time.

Take a look at this:
Quote: | The Shulchan Aruch [C.M. 370:3] rules that dice playing is forbidden and [one who takes payment] is considered gezel midirabanan. However the Rema states that the prevalent custom has been to permit this and only one who is a full time gambler would be disqualified. [As an aside the Revush [Teshuvos Revush 432] discourages gambling in very strong terms, even when permitted halachically. Regarding gambling, he cites the passuk in Mishlei [7:24] “For she has felled many victims and the number of her slain is huge.” Regarding gambling in a casino, because of the obvious pritzus [immodestly clad patrons and workers] and similar concerns, entering such a place would involve many other serious halachic issues. See Bava Basra 57b and Mishna Berura 75:7] |
For the full article from which this quote was taken, see http://www.cckollel.org/html/p......html

DefyGravity--where do you live? If you don't want to say PM me if you live in the Brooklyn ,NY area. Maybe we can join your homegames? We can have a whole multitable tournament. It's a lot of fun playing in a casino setting, and it does not have to be high stakes, you can play $2-$4 limit, and I usually end up walking away with a couple of extra bucks.
