The heyday of gambling in the west lasted from 1850-1910.
 Gambling was the number one form of entertainment in the west and nearly everyone living there engaged in it at one time or another.
 Cowboys, miners, lumberjacks, businessmen, and lawmen all played games of chance for pleasure and profit.
 Whenever a new settlement or camp started one of the first buildings or tents erected would be a gambling hall.
 As the settlement grew, these halls would become larger and more elaborate in proportion.
 Gaming halls were typically the largest and most ornately decorated buildings in any town and often housed a bar, stage for entertainment, and hotel rooms for guests.
 These establishments were a driving force behind the local economy and many towns measured their prosperity by the number of gambling halls and professional gamblers they had.
 Towns that were friendly to gaming were typically known to sports as "wide-awake" or "wide-open" for their acceptance of gambling.
Pokeno is a game manufactured by United States Playing Card Company, the makers of Bicycle Playing Cards.
 This game is a combination of Poker and Keno (or Lotto) and is similar to the game Bingo in several aspects.
Hustling is the deceptive act of disguising one's skill in a sport or game with the intent of luring someone of probably lesser skill into gambling (or gambling for higher than current stakes) with the hustler, as a form of both a confidence trick and match fixing.
 It is most commonly associated with, and originated in, pool (and to an extent other billiards-family games), but also can be performed with regard to other sports and gambling activities.
 Hustlers may also engage in "<dfn id="">sharking</dfn> "—distracting, disheartening, enraging, or even threatening their opponents—to throw them off.
 Hustlers are thus often called "pool sharks" "(compare "card shark")".
 Professional and semi-pro hustlers sometimes work with a "<dfn id="">stakehorse</dfn> "—a person who provides the money for the hustler to bet with (and who may assist in the hustling)—in exchange for a substantial portion of all winnings.
 Another form of hustling (often engaged in by the same hustlers who use the skill-disguising technique) is challenging <dfn id=">"marks"</dfn> (swindle targets) to bet on trick shots that seem nearly impossible but at which the hustler is exceptionally skilled.
A combination drug is a fixed-dose combination (FDC) that includes two or more active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) combined in a single dosage form, which is manufactured and distributed in fixed doses.
 Terms like "combination drug" or "combination drug product" can be common shorthand for a FDC product (since most combination drug products are currently FDCs), although the latter is more precise if in fact referring to a mass-produced product having a predetermined combination of drugs and respective dosages (as opposed to "customized" polypharmacy via compounding).
 And it should also be distinguished from the term "combination product" in medical contexts, which without further specification can refer to products that combine different "types" of medical products—such as device/drug combinations as opposed to drug/drug combinations.
 Note that when a combination drug product (whether fixed-dose or not) is a "pill" (i.e., a tablet or capsule), then it is also a kind of "polypill" or combopill.
Trade stimulators were countertop machines widely used to encourage shoppers to indulge in a game of chance.
 They became popular in American saloons during the 1880s, their use spreading to cigar, confectionery and general stores.
 Produced in a wide range of designs, they were developed during the same era as slot machines and were operated by inserting a coin and pulling a lever, the player standing to win prizes of cigars, cigarettes, candy and other goods if a winning combination came up.
 During periods when gambling was prohibited or in states where gambling was illegal, these machines could be used with little fear of prosecution.
Pachinko (パチンコ ) is a type of mechanical game originating in Japan and is used as both a form of recreational arcade game and much more frequently as a gambling device, filling a Japanese gambling niche comparable to that of the slot machine in Western gaming.
 A pachinko machine resembles a vertical pinball machine, but is different from Western pinball in several ways.
 First, a pachinko machine uses small (11mm diameter) steel balls, which are rented to the player by the owner (usually a "pachinko parlor," featuring many individual games in rows), while pinball games use a larger, captive ball.
 The pachinko balls are not only the active object, but are also the bet and the prize.
 The player loads one or more balls into the machine, then presses and releases a spring-loaded handle, which is attached to a padded hammer inside the machine, thus launching the ball into a metal track.
 The track guides the ball around the edge of the playing field, then when the ball loses momentum, it falls into the playing field from near the top.
 Some pachinko machines have a bumper to bounce the ball as it reaches the top, while other machines allow the ball to travel all the way around the field, to fall on the second time that it reaches the top.
The Life Assurance Act 1774 (14 Geo.
 3 c.48, also known as the Gambling Act 1774) was an Act of Parliament of the Parliament of Great Britain, which received the Royal Assent on 20 April 1774.
 The Act prevented the abuse of the life insurance system to evade gambling laws.
 It was extended to Ireland by the Life Insurance (Ireland) Act 1866, and is still in force.
 Prior to the Act, it was legally possible for any person to take out life insurance on any other person, regardless of whether or not the beneficiary of the policy had any legitimate interest in the person whose life was insured.
 As such, the system of life insurance provided a legal loophole for a form of gambling: an insurance policy could be taken out on an unrelated third party, stipulating whether or not they would die before a set date, and relying on chance to determine if the "insurer" or "policy-holder" would profit by this event.
A lottery is a form of gambling that involves the drawing of numbers for a prize.
 Lotteries are outlawed by some governments, while others endorse it to the extent of organizing a national or state lottery.
 It is common to find some degree of regulation of lottery by governments; the most common regulation is prohibition of sale to minors.
 Though lotteries were common in the United States and some other countries during the 19th century, by the beginning of the 20th century, most forms of gambling, including lotteries and sweepstakes, were illegal in the U.S. and most of Europe as well as many other countries.
 This remained so until well after World War II.
 In the 1960s casinos and lotteries began to re-appear throughout the world as a means for governments to raise revenue without raising taxes.

Odds are a numerical expression, usually expressed as a pair of numbers, used in both gambling and statistics.
 In statistics, the odds for or odds of some event reflect the likelihood that the event will take place, while odds against reflect the likelihood that it will not.
 In gambling, the odds are the ratio of payoff to stake, and do not necessarily reflect exactly the probabilities.
 Odds are expressed in several ways (see below), and sometimes the term is used incorrectly to mean simply the probability of an event.
 Conventionally, gambling odds are expressed in the form "X to Y", where X and Y are numbers, and it is implied that the odds are odds against the event on which the gambler is considering wagering.
 In both gambling and statistics, the 'odds' are a numerical expression of the likelihood of some possible event.
