Uruguayan identity draws on gaucho culture, the everyday ritual of mate, and the Afrourguaian heritage of candombe and murga, which form the face of carnival.
Monteideo's urban scene is historically tango and theatre, while the grassroots passion is football (classic Nacional-Peñarol derby).
Gambling practices grew out of racecourses (racing traditions, sweepstakes) and state lotteries, later supplemented by casinos in resort areas: the exquisite historical Casino Carrasco and the evening economy of Punta del Este set the style of "secular leisure."
Today, this layer of cultural codes - from gaucho and port history to carnival and football - is reflected in the design of game halls, themes of promotions and seasonal events, linking entertainment with local culture and tourism.
