Guyana's gaming tradition dates back to the colonial period, when lotteries and horse racing were popular; later, bingo and club card games were added to them.
Modern culture is influenced by Caribbean roots: cricket as a national passion, street festivals (including Mashramani) and music scenes are shaping the demand for entertainment spaces - from small halls with slots to sports bars with match broadcasts.
In a multinational society (Afro and Indo-Guyanese, as well as indigenous peoples), different gaming habits remain, but the general trend is a "social" format of leisure, moderate rates and respect for the norms of responsible play.
How gambling culture was formed in the territory of modern Guyana during the era of Dutch and British colonial rule: social strata, popular games, the role of taverns and fairs, lotteries for public works, the origin of horse racing bets and moral and legal prohibitions.
