'''Gambling''' is the practice of engaging in games of chance with [[money]] at stake. This can be as simple as betting on the outcome of a [[fighter]]'s bout, or as complex as many medieval [[dice|dicing games.]] Gambling was as popular in [[period]] as it is today, although the modern obsession with [[playing cards]] was replaced with [[dice]] as cards were not invented until the [[16th Century]].

Gambling with dice was universal across [[medieval]] Europe, and frequently condemned by priests and preachers. The rules of many of medieval games, like [[Hazard]] or [[Passage]], have survived to [[modern]] times.

==Gambling in the SCA==
Gambling for large amounts of [[money]] in the [[SCA]] is frowned upon. Some people are uncomfortable with gambling, and there are, after all, places where one can go to do that sort of thing without ruining the game for everyone else. If you want to gamble in [[period]] fashion at an SCA [[event]], it is probably best to keep to penny-stakes or [[SCA coinage]].

'''Note:''' ''Gambling addiction'' is a serious problem for some people. If you know someone with a gambling problem, try to get them some help. The Ministry of Health (or local equivalent) can provide assistance to those struggling with addictions.
