Applied to your response, Lloyd:
Bank robbery has elements that are not present in gambling. Bank robbery involves threats of force/threats. It also involves taking money that is not yours through force of arms not chance or skill. The robbed party did not consent to a set of rules where they have a chance of getting money from the robbers as well.
