Here is some information from Wiki!

Gambling dates back to the Paleolithic period, before written history. In Mesopotamia the earliest six-sided dice date to about 3000 BC. However, they were based on astragali dating back thousands of years earlier. In China, gambling houses were widespread in the first millennium BC, and betting on fighting animals was common. Lotto games and dominoes (precursors of Pai Gow) appeared in China as early as the 10th century.[7]

Playing cards appeared in the 9th century[AD or BC?] in China. Records trace gambling in Japan back at least as far as the 14th century.[8]

Poker, the most popular U.S. card game associated with gambling, derives from the Persian game As-Nas, dating back to the 17th century.[9]

The first known casino, the Ridotto, started operating in 1638 in Venice, Italy.[10]

Why students have interests in gambling?

There are many reasons that students have interests in gambling. A big reason is because they believe that they will win and come out with more than they came in with. This is common in all ages of gamblers though, because gambling was designed to do this. Also, students like to gamble, because they believe it is "cool" or popular people do it, and many college students do it, because they like to do things they couldn't do when they are a kid, since gambling is illegal for minors in the US.
