Gambling is an activity where a person risks something of value (money or possessions) on an uncertain outcome. The element of chance is essential to gambling, and the gambler hopes to win a prize ranging from a small amount to a life-changing jackpot. Gambling can take place in brick-and-mortar casinos, online, and in other settings. It can include card games, fruit machines, video-draw poker machines, slot machines, table games such as blackjack and roulette, and other casino-style games. It can also involve betting on sports events and horse races, football accumulators, other types of sporting bets, and lottery-style games such as instant scratch cards.
