Gambling is the wagering of money or something of material value on an event with an uncertain outcome with the primary intent of winning additional money and/or material goods. Typically, the outcome of the wager is evident within a short period.

The term gaming in this context typically refers to instances in which the activity has been specifically permitted by law. The two words are not mutually exclusive; i.e., a “gaming” company offers (legal) “gambling” activities to the public. This distinction is not universally observed in the English-speaking world, however. For instance, in the UK, the regulator of gambling activities is called the Gambling Commission (not the Gaming Commission).

A. italian and latin are very different languages... in italian we say: casino for gambling, but be careful becuse casino = gambling casino = brothel !!! anyway, latin is a dead language, it was talked here when "italy" still didn't exist. It's supposed to be a dead language, but someone want latin to be spoken again, so in a dicionary of "modern latin" i found: aleatorium-ii in fact, have you ever heard "alea iacta est"?
