Kasína v Modre - neznáma súčasť kasínového hnutia a procesu „národného prebúdzania“
...These small town people have still not matured to something like that... The casino in Modra – an unknown part of the casino movement and process

Summary/Abstract: The casino movement in the Kingdom of Hungary also found a response in Modra, which belonged to the category of smaller towns. It is a previously unknown development, not mentioned in the comprehensive study of the casino movement. The author’s analysis is based on hitherto unknown documents. She clarifies the process of establishment of a town casino, analyses the leadership of the club and its relationship to the Slovak casino. The latter originated on an ethnic basis and came into long-term conflict with the town casino. Both casinos became venues for cultivated social life, differentiation of political positions in a revolutionary period and a form of national representation.
