Umlando Oshintshayo Wokugembula Emifuleni naseLwandle
Imikhumbi ejwayele ukuba enye yezindawo ezimbalwa ungathola ukugembula kwekhasino e-United States ngaphandle kweLas Vegas noma i-Atlantic City. Umkhumbi wawuzosuka echwebeni, kanti ikhasino yayiyovula ngokushesha nje lapho umkhumbi wawuhamba ngamakhilomitha ama-3 emanzini angaphandle. (Umkhawulo wamamitha amathathu uhlelwe ekhulwini lokugcina njengomngcele we-United States ngoba kwakuyibanga eliphakeme ukuthi amadononi asekelwe ngasogwini angase avutha umlilo.) Ukugembula kweCasino kwakuwumsebenzi omkhulu wemikhumbi, ikakhulu kulabo abahlala kude Las Vegas noma e-Atlantic City.
Lo mqondo uye washintsha e-United States ngokuqala kwamakhasino okugembula komfula kanye nalabo abalawulwa yizizwe zaseMelika zaseMelika.
Ukugembula koMfula akuyona into entsha ngokuphelele. Abaningi bethu abanobudala bomlando waseMelika bakhumbula ukuthi uthando oluhambisana nomgijimi wokugembula wekhulu leshumi nesishiyagalolunye. Kwakungewona ushintsho ekuziphatheni komphakathi okwabangelwa ukushona komkhumbi. Ukuvela kwezitimela njengendlela engcono yokuthutha kanye nokugqashuka kweMpi Yombango kwakuyizici ezithintekayo. Izitimela zazinokwethenjelwa futhi zishesha kunamabhoti. Impi Phakathi kwezwe yaphazanyisa cishe yonke indlela yokuhamba komfula futhi yahluleka ukugembula kuleyo ndawo.
Emashumini eminyaka edlule ekhulu leminyaka lama-20 athola izifunda ezifuna imithombo emisha yemali engenayo engabalekayo kubavoti. Amazwe amaningi aqala ukuvumela izikebhe zomfula ukunikeza ukugembula kwekhasino.
Eziningi zalezi zikebhe ziyi-barges ezingokoqobo ezingazange zishiye idokodo. Baxoshwa emfuleni, echibini noma olwandle unomphela. Amazwe athengise ukugembula kwekhasino kubavoti bawo ngokunciphisa ukugembula emanzini omfula. Isizathu salokhu kwakungewona kuphela imingcele yomzimba, kodwa futhi nokukhawulelwa kwesikhathi.
Abagembula abanesikhathi esinqunyiwe samahora amabili noma amathathu bangase balahlekelwe kakhulu njengokungathi isikhathi asivinjelwe. Ekuqaleni lezi zikebhe zazihamba "ngomkhumbi" emfuleni noma ezungeze echibini noma indawo. Njengoba isikhathi sidlulile, abaningi babo abazange bashiye idokodo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ngenxa yokuncintisana phakathi kwamazwe angomakhelwane, izikebhe eziningi zokungena emanzini asisekho isikhathi esithile ngokuthi "ukugijima kwezokugembula". Lo mncintiswano uye wabangela izimboni eziningi ukuba ziphakamise ngokuphawulekayo imingcele yokugembula eyabekwa lapho izigungu zokudlala emifuleni zaqala ukuqala ngawo-1980 nangama-1990.
Izizwe zaseMelika zaseMelika nazo zitholile kwi-casino bandwagon. Bayavunyelwa ukusetha amageyimu wokugembula ngenxa yesimo sabo sezwe esibukhosi. Izizwe zaseMelika zaseMelika zazikhona njengamanye amazwe ohulumeni abakhulu ngaphambi kokuba abahlali baseYurophu bafike eNyakatho Melika kuqala. Izizwe zazisayina izivumelwano namazwe aseYurophu futhi kamuva i-United States ngokushintshanisa umhlaba. Lezi zivumelwano zaqinisekisa ukuthi lezi zizwe zaqhubeka ziqashelwa futhi zelashwa njengezikhulu.
Amakhasino anamuhla ahamba emfuleni aqale ngokusemthethweni ngo-1989 e-Iowa, ngaleso sikhathi e-Illinois, alandela eduze noMisson, Indiana, Louisiana naseMississippi. Uhlobo lwezemidlalo oluvunyelwe emakheninini emifula yomfula luhluka ngokwegunya.
Ngokuvamile, i-state ivumela ukudlala imidlalo ye-casino yendabuko njenge-blackjack, i-roulette, ne-slots. Ngaphandle kwebhokisi lomfula kanye namakhasini ezinhlanga, ezinye izifunda seziqalile ukuvumela "abahamba ngezinyawo ukuba bangene ndawo" ezithatha abagibeli ngaphesheya komkhawulo wamamitha amathathu ngobusuku obulodwa noma ngezimpelasonto zokugembula ngezimpelasonto. Ngenxa yale mikhuba emidlalweni yokugembula, ukugembula kwekhasino, kuhlanganise nokudlala kweMelika yaseMelika, kusemthethweni ngaphezu kwengxenye yama-United States amahlanu, futhi iningi lamakhasino lakhiwe eminyakeni eyishumi edlule.
Kuthiwani konke lokhu kumthandi womkhumbi? Ngenhlanhla kulabo abathanda ukugembula, imigqa yokuhamba ngemikhumbi iyaqhubeka yokwakha amakhasino amakhulu nakakhulu. Abagibeli abaningi bazibheka njengento ebalulekile ekuhlangenwe nakho kwe-Cruise, futhi imikhumbi evela ekunetheziseni kuya emfudlaneni omkhulu inamakhasin.
Ngombono wami, enye yezingxenye ezinhle kakhulu mayelana nokugembula elwandle ukuthi abathengisi bemikhumbi ye-cruise kanye nezinye izisebenzi ze-casino zibekezela futhi zizimisele ukusiza oqalayo ukuba afunde imidlalo ngaphandle kwalokho engibonile eLas Vegas. Abagibeli abaningi abahamba ngemikhumbi baya eholidini ukuze bajabulele i-cruise, futhi ukugembula kuyingxenye eyodwa nje kuphela yokuhamba kwabo. Ngakho-ke, ikhasino iyancintisana neminye imisebenzi ye-shipboard. Ngesinye isikhathi, ukuhamba ngesikebhe kungase kube ukuchayeka kwezemidlalo kokuqala kwabagibeli abaningi. Ngokufika kwesikebhe samanzi kanye namakhasino omndeni waseNative American, lokhu akuyona neze iqiniso okwamanje. Kodwa-ke, ngicabanga ukuthi ukuhamba kwama-casino kusabona ukuthi iningi labagibeli abayinto enkulu yokugembula. Bafuna nje ukuzijabulisa.
