It's a matter of the heart. Why does a person gamble? If a person gambles to try to cheat his way out of the created order of being made to work by scoring big and using it as an occasion for sin, then it's most certainly sinful. If a person enjoys a game of Texas Hold'em, using skill and enjoying that aspect of the game while spending a reasonable amount of money to put worth into the game so that your hands aren't always throwable-away, then I can't see at all how it's sinful.


Isn't it legalistic to say "Gambling is wrong!"?
