Database: Gambling and games of chance

It was common for some ancient Greeks to spend their day in a gambling house, where many cockfights and games of chance took place. They gambled not only by spinning coins and hiding small objects in their hands, but also over quail fights or cock fights. The latter, imported to Greece by the Persians during the Persian War, were particularly common on the day of the celebration of the Greek victory over the Persians.
