The origins of betting in Marseille can be traced back to the early 18th century. As a socio-cultural phenomenon, the first forms of betting were centered on local festivals and celebrations, where participants were rewarded for guessing the outcome. Over time, betting activities evolved into more structured and regulated forms, with formal casinos and gaming companies emerging. This shift not only reflected the demand for a more entertaining form of entertainment, but also led to an increase in gaming regulations and social acceptance. Beginning in the 20th century, Marseille gaming grew rapidly in France and beyond, becoming one of the legally regulated forms of entertainment and attracting significant investment and visitors.

As we enter the 21st century, new trends in horse racing betting have emerged with the development of technology. In particular, the popularity of the Internet has led to the rapid rise of online betting, changing the landscape of traditional betting. People can easily access betting platforms from the comfort of their homes, thus making betting activities more convenient and diversified. Future developments are expected to further revolve around the following directions:

  • technological innovation: Utilizing virtual reality and artificial intelligence to enhance the user experience.
  • user friendliness: Enhance player interaction and engagement.
  • Regulatory refinement: Adapt to market changes and promote the standardization and legalization of the gaming industry.
