A game of primarily chance, such as slots, roulette, poker, blackjack, or even MTG’s Ante variation where something of value is offered (money, chips, resellable cards) and something of value is rewarded would be gambling. Note that chance would be a primary mechanic of the game, but skill may still be involved.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is involved in this? I mean, voters did gamble on her.

I hate her. She has the worst initials.
Also, she’s generally a bad person, but that’s irrelevant.

I never got into trading cards or tabletop gaming. My college roommate, on the other hand, when running out of disposable cash, would traipse down to the WotC on The Ave with his Warhammer figurines and enter competitions. He was no longer short on money afterward.
