I feel like casino and institutional gambling should be banned, establishments of gambling and gambling tournaments. Lotteries are repulsive.
I have no issue with small-scale personal gambling, betting & games - plus it would not be feasible to stop these. The problems come from profit seeking entities getting involved (pay day lenders and loan sharks that prey on people gambling addictions, online scams, casinos and other institutions that make the gambling psychologically addictive and rig the games to always be in their favor, etc)
Huge difference between some old grandmas playing cards outside and betting petty cash vs. a psychologically addicted elderly woman giving her social security checks to the slots
