Gambling

Gambling games are titles where the majority of the gameplay is based around betting or wagering something on an event with an uncertain outcome with the intent of winning something else of value. Typical examples are slot machines, games of roulette or betting on a horse crossing the finish line.

For some games Gambling is combined with the basic genre Strategy when tactics can influence the element of risk (chance). Typical examples are Poker or Blackjack.

Limitation

• Games where gambling is a mini-game, a side activity or an optional part of the game (lootboxes or gacha games) do no use this genre. They receive the subgenre Gambling elements instead, part of the Gameplay category.
• MobyGames does not document online casino websites or apps.
