Gambling in an entertainment and non-family-injuring sense is not immoral. It's no different than taking a day off to go fishing or lay out on the beach, etc. If it increases or extends to the point where it becomes a compulsion or results in money being taking away from the family or charities that the family would otherwise support - then it crosses the line into "..sinful activity..."; more under the heading of Glutony. It would seem to cross over into the realm of being immoral, only when one was making conscience choices to gamble fully knowing that harm to you and your family would directly result. I.e.: gamble or buy groceries.... Give it a rest. John :-) .
