Gambling Superstitions Around the World

Everyone has superstition or two. Whether they wear mismatched socks for an important job interview or take an exam with that one lucky pencil, most people have it. Like many others, gamblers have developed numerous superstitious practices too. Some say they are the most superstitious people. Today we will go through some of the best-known gambling superstitions from all over the world. Ready to dive into the mysterious world with us?

Wearing Red at the Casino

This is one of the most popular superstitions whose origin is familiar. The belief that red is a lucky gambling colour comes from Asia. This superstition most probably has origins in China. For the Chinese people, red is the colour of prosperity and, therefore, this colour brings good fortune. There is a belief that the colour evokes feelings of power and energy so many players tend to bet on red while playing roulette.

Gambling Superstitions: Blowing on Dice

We saw this superstition mostly in the movies. It’s one of the numerous attempts to influence lady luck in the gambler’s favour – blowing on dice. At casinos, you can see it at the craps table. Some believe this ritual can be traced back to the early days of gambling when gamblers tried to cheat. So when you see gamblers who blow on their dice, don’t think ill of them. They are probably just being superstitious.

Unlucky Number 13

Starting with Friday the 13^th, unexplained fears surrounding the number 13 arouse. These are not only connected to gambling superstitions. In the casino world, people seem to be particularly careful with the number 13, particularly while playing roulette. What’s the most interesting about this one? Well, in some cultures, for example some Asian ones, number 13 actually brings luck.

Pregnant Women As A Lucky Charm

This one is the funniest one among gambling superstitions, honestly. In the Philippines, pregnant woman can bring luck at gambling. In fact, superstitious people will rub a pregnant woman’s belly for good luck. So, if there’s a pregnant woman at a casino, you can check if this is true. We all know that gambling is a mix of luck and skill, but just how much control do we have over luck? Whether the superstitions are true or not, it’s always fun spicing up your gambling experience with some rituals. Do you consider yourself superstitious?

Casino Brango Celebrates National Tell a Joke Day

By Tom Wolfe Lifestyle 2 Comments

Hello, fellow Brango players, allow us to introduce and congratulate you on what’s probably our favorite holiday out of them all. The National Tell a Joke Day! That’s because there’s an intrinsic connection between telling a joke and spending your time at a casino. Namely, both are highly contagious, extremely fun activities designed to bring out the best of the day and put a smile on your face. That’s why here at Brango’s crypto casino the occasion is always properly marked with pomp and great promotions. And although we love to tell a joke, there’s no joke about them!

The History of National Tell a Joke Day

Unfortunately, we don’t know the exact author of the National Tell a Joke Day, which isn’t surprising when you consider how often we forget most of our jokes. What we do know is that jokes have been an inseparable part of human history from time immemorial, with the first recorded one tracing back to at least 1900 B.C. Believe it or not, it involved good old flatulence humor, which just goes to show that people’s perception of humor didn’t change much over time. Some also attribute the invention of jokes to the ancient Greek hero Palamedes, who used them to outwit the more famous Odysseus on the eve of the Trojan War. But it doesn’t really matter, does it? What matters is that to tell a joke was a sign of human presence from the moment we were able to use language as means of expression.

The Benefits of Having a Laughter

There are so many benefits to laughter it would take days just to count them all. According to Mayo Clinic, there are both long-term and short-term effects it has on our health. It can improve your cardiac health and blood circulation, reduce your stress levels, trigger the release of endorphins, and boost your T-cells. It also helps you get through tough times, connect with people and make you feel less depressed and anxious.

If this sounds familiar, you’re on the right trail, because that’s exactly what playing at the casino does. And while we may not be able to boost your T-cells, there’s another kind of boost our bet-safe casino excels in. The one that measures in free spins, chips and cash. We decided to go on a special kind of blast this August, with an up to 200% boost plus 200 free spins you can claim for the duration of the whole month. Hope this brings a smile to your face half as much as it does when you tell a joke so good that the whole room brightens up!

How to Celebrate National Tell a Joke

There are so many reasons to love and ways to celebrate National Tell a Joke Day. The primary idea is to have a great time, so try to do whatever makes your stomach muscles strain. You can spend some time reading up on different jokes online or do a bit of digging on social media to find the material you can share with your friends and make a riot of laughter for everyone involved.

They loved breakdancing and doing graffiti art the most. The art they produced represented the voice of people living in bad economic situation as the majority of these young people were unemployed. Crime and poverty rates were also high.

So, they started playing records at parties and made hip hop more than just a music – a cultural movement that incorporates different elements of art. Hip-hop pioneers are DJ Kool Herc, Afrika Bambaataa, and Grandmaster Flash. These three innovators are known as the “Holy Trinity” of hip-hop. DJ Kool Herc and his sister Cindy hosted a back-to-school in the Bronx. The event is known as the birth of hip-hop and it happened on this date in 1973.

If you enjoy shows about poker, you probably heard about this one. The term “Big Blind Special” refers to when the player in the big blind wins a pot because nobody made a raise during the preflop round of betting.
