some people have problems with addictions... which is like having an idol in a way, that is all you think about...
so, some churches will teach that casinos are sinful (some maybe, but not all casinos are sinful) so that their 'congregation' doesnt go to the casino and become addicted to gambling.
while we are called to be good stewards with our money, playing cards and winning or losing some $$ sometimes isnt a sin... as long as it doesnt control your life
but of course, there are some 'christians' who go way overboard on this as well as other 'terrible' things.... some people believe that the 'church' they attend has the right to tell them what to wear, where to spend their free time, what to eat, etc... when that isnt really biblical at all

Either that or they're all lined up at the gas station playing the lottery...I wish Ohio would open a casino so I didn't waste 15 minutes every time I stop to buy a pack of cigarettes...I always get behind the little old ladies playing instant lottery cards...

There is nothing about gambling in the bible.
I would say it is like many other things, in moderation is O.K.
The reason many are against legalizing it is because they know how many people will get hurt by it.
Peace!

Gambling is prohibited in the bible,but people insist on doing it. and that is where "free will" enters again
