Abstract

Playing is among the determining factors of human culture, yet it contributes to a large extent in the process of learning and entertainment at the same time. The human need for self-entertainment dates back to prehistoric times, so that this being sought to find different ways and a variety of things to distract his daily worries related to providing food. At that time, every unfamiliar matter that did not result in harm could bring happiness and elation to the soul of the man of these ages. But the matter became different with the stability of man and his establishment of villages and cities, his practice of agriculture and his domestication of animals, as all of this resulted in important inventions and industries that enabled man to move to the stage of high civilization that provided him with food stability. From this point of view, man has begun fishing, for example, not out of his need for food, but for self-entertainment, and he has many places where he meets to play games of chance.
