Abstract:

In October 1927, a presidential decree entered into force that regulated the treatment rules of gambling addicts. It was the first evidence of a change in thinking about those who could not cope with addiction. In practice, the new regulations did not change much; nevertheless, the problem that had been ridiculed until then slowly became an element of discourse, also a medical one. In fear of the uncontrolled development of institutions offering the opportunity to participate in strictly gambling entertainment (lotteries, races, bookmakers’ bets, casinos, etc.), a lottery monopoly was introduced at the dawn of the Second Republic of Poland. Horse racing w as also nationalised. At the same time, however, together with state legal forms of gambling, the gambling underground was operating in interwar Poland, both the ‘ exclusive’ (roulette parlours) and the plebeian one. The article deals with the latter.
