About

The Chinese word 赌场 is formed by combining the character 赌, meaning "gamble", and 场, meaning "place". 赌 is a phono-semantic character composed of the radical 贝 (money) to indicate its meaning related to betting, and the component 者 for phonetic suggestion. 场 is similarly a phono-semantic character with the radical 土 (earth) to signify a physical location, and the component 昜 for phonetic suggestion. Together, they create a compound word that literally means "gambling place", referring to a casino.
