| During the first great war there was a large influx of refugees to Barcelona. The nightlife increased, and there were places where the gambling worked 24 hours - in cabarets, theaters, cafes, clubs, etc. With the repression of the authorities the game closed. In 1919 the Governor introduced a system of concession, being granted six gambling licenses (Café Tivoli, Stadium Club, Principal Palace, Folies Bèrgeres, Monte-Carlo and Eden-Concert). Two years later the licenses were 20, but the gambling iwas working everywhere. Barcelona became the Spanish gambling capital . The gambling houses have multiplied, being well-known the Casino Ideal Rosales, Parisina and Casino Turó Park. In the end of 1922 began a repressive campaign that led to the closure of almost all gambling houses in 1923.
El Teatre Principal held the most important gambling room and was in those times known as Principal Palace.
