Gambling Gambling is defined as a voluntary activity in which parties exchange an item of value on the basis of the outcome of an uncertain event either to obtain some profit or to induce a state of excitement or arousal. For example, if you play on an electronic gaming machine, you pay money – which is the item of value – to the owners of the machine. It is uncertain whether you get back some money, but you at least hope to get some profit and some thrill out of it. Contributor © POSbase 2005
