In this study, the medieval Europeans life was researched as to how they used extra time or indulged in their desires, distanced away from political powers or the Catholic Church, through casting dice. As a result, it was discovered that dice casting comprised a significant part of the daily life of various social classes and strata of the then society; in particular, it was very popular within the cities. Studied in addition were regulatory actions taken against gambling activities and their adverse effects ravaging primarily throughout the cities. From a large perspective, in spite of the fact that casting dice was very popular, it was negatively considered by the many. The then society took the leisure of casting dice, but was not completely free from the governing ethics and religion.
The Church continually warned that casting dice breathed evil into the mens mind, but the more people indulged themselves in this gambling practice. If thought reasonably, gambling should have had been excised once and for all, because it consumed so much time and money. For this reason or another, cities exercised policing power to ward off this disease, but to no avail. Amidst this irony, we can see that the then society and its system failed to accommodate internal desires of the people to play.
Another fact discovered in this study was, unlike the Church that required rule and ethics, the municipal council demonstrated a relatively understanding position towards the people casting dice. In certain cities, casting dice was permitted by ordinance so long as it was involved in the fun or time consumption and to the extent of time wine, beer, and food were consumed for late hours. This allowance, however limited by location and space within the cities, is reflective of the municipal recognition of the cathartic effect of the activity involved in the peoples life. In conclusion, the majority of the then people benefited from the fun, joy, and freedom provided by the play, which gradually became publicly accepted.
