Chilean identity developed at the intersection of indigenous cultures (primarily Mapuche), Spanish heritage and the "long country" between the Andean peaks and the Pacific Ocean.
Historical subjects - the nitrate boom of the north, the copper industry, port cities (Valparaiso), wine valleys - feed the visual themes of art and entertainment.
Mass Fiestas Patrias, cueca dance, street fairs and gastronomy (asado, empanada, pisco sour) form the background of leisure.
Gambling culture began with the Santiago and Viña del Mar racetracks and the oldest hospital lotteries (Lotería de Concepción, Polla Chilena).
In the 20th century, Casino Municipal de Viña del Mar became a symbol of secular resort life, and in the 21st century the stage was supplemented by a network of regional casinos and live shows.
The themes of Andes, Atacama, copper and football passion are easily recognized in the design of halls and game titles, and the digital era has added mobile formats and stream culture around games and betting.
