  Poker is a gambling game.

  False. It is a card game, sometimes people gamble over card games and poker is a common one. You can gamble over yahtzee if you wanted to.

  Chess is a war game. Killing and violence in general are devastating. It’d be interesting to compare the brain activity of a murderer with a grandmaster player. I have my suspicions about what we would see.

      Have you played the game because it really sounds like you haven’t. It sounds like you’ve just seen pictures and made an assumption

      There is no gambling mechanic, other than matching poker suits there aren’t really any poker mechanics, there are no other players.

        Don’t feed the troll. They don’t actually care if it’s gambling or not.

      But it lacks the main feature of a casino: taking people’s money.
