David, F. N. (1962). Games, Gods & Gambling. New York: Hafner. pp. 1–12. While the evidence presented for games analogous to "dice" in prehistory is somewhat conjectural (archaeological), the evidence is strong for such games in distant (c. 3500 B.C.E.) history (writings and paintings).
Gorroochurn, Prakash (2012). "Some Laws and Problems of Classical Probability and How Cardano Anticipated Them". Chance. 25 (4): 13–20. doi:10.1080/09332480.2012.752279. S2CID29803482. Cardano placed too much emphasis on luck (and too little on mathematics) to be regarded as the father of probability. The text contains 5 historical definitions of classical probability by Cardano, Leibniz, Bernoulli, de Moivre and Laplace. Only the last, by Laplace, was fully appreciated and used.
