gambling houses

Where fortunes change

Gambling houses are establishments where people go to gamble—casinos, betting parlors, and similar venues.

The term sounds slightly old-fashioned or formal compared to simply saying casinos: The city outlawed gambling houses in the 1920s.

It may also describe illegal operations: Police raided several underground gambling houses.
