      Uno can be gambling too if you start to bet on round. Anything can be gambling if you want it to but poker with non convertible tokens isn’t gambling. Betting on players also would be gambling. Anything can become gambling. If you think that’s an overstatement look at predictive markets to see how broad bettable events can be it’s amazing scary.
