I don't know that gambling in and of itself is a sin. The motives behind it can be sinful. Like the state lotteries and the owners of casinos taking advantage of people's weaknesses. If you're talking about the people doing the gambling if it is greed that is motivating them than that is sinfull. It is a matter of context. It depends what your motives are. If your going to spend your money on buying something that you don't need, (like a Toy) then it would be no different than gambling. Because it is just for fun (objectively speaking). but like the answer underneath states, gambling is very commenly asscociated with very sinful things. == == It can be consider a sin because of everything that surrounds gambling like greed and risking money that you may need for rent or food also what can you find at casinos? Not holiness. Only alcohol, smoke, sexual desire, etc.
