Culture and history

Historically, Jordanian urban life is closely related to coffee houses and majlis, where communication, backgammon (tawla), dominoes and card parties exist as social rather than monetary excitement.

Religious and family values ​ ​ consolidated a restrained attitude to betting and excluded the formation of a "casino culture."

In the XX-XXI centuries, this cultural background was reflected in legal practice: only penniless entertainment and cautious promotional mechanics without signs of excitement are permissible.

Popular culture is shifting to sports, festivals and family leisure; interest in casinos, if it arises, is realized outside the country.

The basic norm remains unchanged: social leisure - yes, money excitement - no.
