...TÍTO MALOMEŠŤANIA NA NIEČO TAKÉ EŠTE NEDORÁSTLI... KASÍNA V MODRE - NEZNÁMA SÚČASŤ KASÍNOVÉHO HNUTIA A PROCESU „NÁRODNÉHO PREBÚDZANIA“

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 a 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.
