A casino is an establishment where people could gamble money and watch shows held in it. The odds are often skewed in favor of the "house". Usually, gambling was reserved to people who are legally declared as major, but Malachorians considered that everyone should be granted the right to gamble and it wasn't unheard of among Malachorians to have children as young as 6 standard years gamble in casinos. (RIS Bouteina)
Although, in the 2380s, gambling was forbidden under Lyran law, Malachor V was the primary gambling spot in the Lyran Star Empire. When the planet fell under the control of the Romulan Star Empire, the blackjack dealers had to stand on all 17s in order to comply with Romulan law. (RIS Bouteina: "Low-Cost Vacation")
Dabo was a common game played in casinos in the 24th century. (DS9 episode: The Abandoned (episode))
