Abstract:
Gambling has existed for centuries and has taken on many forms during this period. Initially, there wasn’t any criminal provision regarding the concept of games of chance.
Therefore, the Penal Code established the unlawful character of a single subcategory of games of chance, the gambling.
Obviously, this fact reflects the economic development at a given time and society as well as the technological innovations that, nowadays, influence increasingly this sector.
As part of the economic sector, games of chance have experienced rapid growth in Albania in recent years.
This recent phenomenon is regulated and controlled by the respective legal and institutional framework.
Such regulation, based on the category of the game of chance, legitimates various forms of the respective sector, implying the unlawful character of any other form not mentioned in the law, by punishing those categories which run contrary to the legal provisions.
