Gambling has a specific economic
definition, referring to wagering 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 of time.
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.)
