Gambling, card games, dice, slot machines, etc. or wagers are not in themselves contrary to justice.  They become a sin and morally unacceptable when they deprive of what is necessary to provide for their needs and those of others.  But, if the game of chance encourages participant to rely upon the false idol god of fortune, it is a serious sin. (Eighth Commandment Violation, Exodus 20:15)
