THE SPREAD OF CASINOS IN HUNGARY by Gabriella Eőry SUMMARY This paper explores the spread of associations known as casinos in Hungary between 1827 and 1945 using a database established by the author which contains all available information about the associations which were called casinos for the major part of their existence. The analysis extends not only to the types and aims of the casinos, but also to their expansion in terms of both geographical and social space. Through examining the trends in individual periods, it describes the emergence of casinos in smaller settlements and their spectacular specialization. For the period following World War I, the paper not only explores the establishment of new casinos, but also those that remained active in the interwar period and the impact of the post-1945 transformations on the world of casinos.
