gaming houses
Where bets happen
Gaming houses are establishments where gambling takes place—casinos, betting parlors, or less formal venues where people gather to wager money on games of chance.
The term has an old-fashioned or legal flavor: The city shut down several unlicensed gaming houses.
In historical contexts, gaming houses were often associated with vice and organized crime.
