The British always give the impression that they are particularly interested in horses, so that no matter where they are in colonial rule, they always bring horse racing there.It began more than three hundred years ago, and the British went around looking for the ideal horse for a organised horse race.Hong Kong's famous horse race was originally held in macau.It also opened the far east and Asian racing.Wong nei chung happy valley had not yet been built in 1841, so the British officials think of macau is used to do the horse racing place for the weekend, so the permission of the macau government, brought horses, to macau tower stone racecourse to Derby at the weekend.During the period of 1842-1844, Hong Kong held a formal horse race in macau, but as a sports competition, there was no betting station.It was not until 1845 that a pony farm was built in Hong Kong's poifu Lin village to hold a weekend horse race in Hong Kong.In 1858, the horse race was officially held in happy valley, which continues to this day.

On June 17, 1866, the British authorities issued the regulations on the maintenance of social order and weathering, in which article 18 gave Hong Kong governor the right to open the market for gambling.The first page of Hong Kong's gambling history and macau's gambling history was opened on July 1, the same year.This kind of public gambling in the name of maintaining social order and weathering has aroused the fierce opposition of the ordinary people of the right, pointing out that the gambling is harmful to the public, and the authorities of the Hong Kong and the UK have been told to take back their lives.At the end of 1870, the British colonial authorities issued a ban on gambling, ending the ugly history of open gambling in Hong Kong.However, the disease is deep, and has been poisoned by a wide range of poisons.However, the gambling in Hong Kong is constantly changing with the changes of The Times, which still exists and prevails.

Sparrows have always been traditional Chinese social activities.Hong Kong in 1841 by the British rule in 1841, the Hong Kong government banned gambling activities, all business gambling dens is prohibited, but is the cantonese are playing mahjong entertainment leisure entertainment, hence the sparrow pavilion was limited reserves.The government ruled in 1956 that the sparrows must apply for a licence from the police, and that the government issued 144 licences because the sparrows had 144 CARDS.Since gambling is prohibited in the law, the English name of the sparrow's licence will need to be renamed "Mahjong School".Due to the changes of The Times, gambling is all over the place, so until June 30, 2011, the number of sparrows decreased to 66.
