I've not done a 'gambline' session in some time and its more rare these days to do so.  I'm in favor of a quick and easy system than something complex like this.  Looks good but doubt I'd use it.  I'd rather just make maybe 1-3 rolls and check some charts I'd generate :)

But the thing is that it as always depends....different cultures not all have the same card games.  Some differ.  So doing one basic system might not work for a large campaign.  Elfs and Dwarves would even have a alien type gambling system to humans.  

Course to be honest since its a role playing game we'd just role play it out than roll dice.  If it was a card game we'd play one me being the house and the other gamblers.  Dice games.  Same thing.  Was a bit more fun that way to see it in the flesh.  They enjoyed that than using some charts and such.
