More than a new habit, promoted by digital innovation, Mato Grosso has an ancient tradition connected to games, with board and card games being mainly part of the local culture.
In everyday life in the region we find several elements that refer to the importance of card games in social life, and in both rural and urban regions, the tradition of games has passed down the generations, also adapting to new forms of gambling.
Casino card games thus end up finding a significant following in Mato Grosso, being digital variants of much-loved predecessors such as Buraco, Canasta or Truco, which have always awakened the passion for luck and strategy with cards.
In casinos, these games are replaced by others, like the ones mentioned above and bring new ways of experiencing the tradition of card games in the region.
How games define Mato Grosso family culture
Before we get to gambling, we look at other cultural aspects that take place in Mato Grosso, involving the beloved card games.
In the region, these games were a part of family gatherings, which shaped everyday life, marking memories of festive moments. Competition and fun were the main aspects of the practice, which was seen as a way of creating and strengthening friendship and family bonds.
In their more traditional variant, these games represented connection and sharing, which would also be valued online, motivating operators to invest in variants where virtual interaction with other players was possible.
In casinos, this is reflected in the investment in live games, in which the realistic component creates an interactive space, with a real relationship with the croupier, in streaming broadcasts. These games are usually available in live casinos.
Digitalization and the perpetuation of cultural traits
New means of technology are changing the world. Still, change does not always mean a break with the past and tradition. In many aspects, the digital medium has simply brought new ways of experiencing traditionality and culture, finding new ways to reinforce them.
Virtual spaces such as online casinos, for example, find ways to preserve cultural aspects and overcome nostalgia. In the case of casinos, we can see this precisely with the integration of classic games, such as slot machines and the reinforcement of card games with live components, where interaction with other players and the dealer plays a fundamental part of the practice, in games like poker and blackjack. This traditionality is also recovered in roulette, with the addition of live options. In the context of online casinos, an investment in the modernization of nostalgia also stands out, as we can see in the famous crash games, so often inspired by arcades and arcades, which bring the emotions of the games that marked the 80s and 90s of the last century.
