I don't see anything wrong with a little gambling for fun. Now, if you were taking the last bit of money you had to feed your family and were using it to gamble, that is wrong. You are risking the health and welfare of your family. Also, if you become addicted, that could be sinful as well. Everything in moderation.
God bless,

Absolutley not, as long as its done in moderation. This is true for sex, drinking, etc. It's not a sin to go to Vegas with a set amount of $ and have a good time. It's not a sin to go to the local casino with a set amount of $ and have a good time. It's not a sin to play the lottery either.
It IS a sin to waste your whole life at a casino and lose your house, job, car, family, etc to pay for your out of control gambling addiction. But the real sin in that situation isn't actually gambling, it's having no self control.

Gambling is addictive, is not uplifting, does not teach truth, does not improve your life, uses up time that could be spent in better pursuits, can leave you in financial ruin, keeps you away from friends and family, can cause you to lose sleep and concentration, and encourages you to eat junk food, drink alcohol, and smoke cigarettes while participating in it. So if it's the opposite of a wholesome activity, I guess that would make it a sin, eh?

Only if you gamble away your livelihood or your children's inheritance.
