Here are verses in the Holy Qura'an that mention the Sin of Gambling (http://my.webmd.com/content/article/96/103761.htm)(games of chance):

They ask thee how much they are to spend; Say: "What is beyond your needs." Thus doth Allah Make clear to you His Signs: In order that ye may consider (Chapter #2, Verse #219)
