Just a quick train of thought, why is there almost nil discussion when it comes to poker, slots, cards, and other gambling video games? As far as I know, the only time it comes up is when discussing how the Game Corner no longer exists in the Pokemon games. Pics are some of the games that I've acquired over the years.

I'm talking about REAL gambling games, not waifu lootboxes.

Hoyle Casino 4 was pretty fun. It had slots, various card games, roulette, etc. It also had a character creator and the AI players all had their own voice and personality, so it was more interesting than playing against some faceless computer.

Anyone that wants the risk and high of gambling has long-since been seduced by spending 4,000$ on a Madden character or some other predatory microtransaction scheme, anon.
The market for people interested in old-world gambling has been entirely swallowed by children with mommy's credit cards and 30-somethings easily goaded into using their wallet as a controller.

That's the one thing that I will never get. Why spend real world money on items that do not exist?

Gambling enthusiasts, the kind that can keep track of which cards have been used since the last shuffle in Blackjack and calculate pot odds on the fly, prefer the real thing instead of a computerized version that might be RNG cheating them.
Drooling retards distracted by blinking lights while they empty their credit card will prefer the blinking lights. These don't really offer much to discuss.

I remember a poker game was bundled with my SNES that I got as a kid (Along with DKC and Super StarWars). I played it because, what the hell, why not, I have it so I may as well.
I tried all the different casino games and it was boring as shit and to this day I can't empathize with gambling addicts at all. It's just watching a number go down.

This post is the long and short of it. The reason pure gambling video games aren't popular is that actual gambling has an element of actual reward and actual risk. If that's missing, then it is just watching numbers change by luck in a way that's far more arbitrary and blatant than other essentially luck-based games. Gambling minigames in other games get around this by making you risk something that you traded playtime for (points or in-game money) and so you the player are actually risking something valuable (your short time on this gay earth). The occasional porn game with gambling will also get around this by giving players something of admittedly small value. Regular old gambling games generally don't even have a plot for a reward.

Because with the exception of only a handful of states in the US, it is not legal.

Because those games fucking suck and the only reason to play them is being stupid and thinking you'll win big.

Because a lot of dedicated casino video games are clunky pieces of shit with terrible UI and limited creativity, trying too hard to be realistic and just failing on every level. I've played a bunch.
Persona and Persona 2 are still the best casino video games available.

My uneducated guess is that they either don't have or don't feel like they need any knowledge transfer from more normal video game companies. I wouldn't think there're many folks who leave the one industry to go to the other, as I'm guessing the gambling gaming comapnies are pretty small and draw from local populations in gambling areas: Vegas and big cities wherever the Indian casinos are located (Chicago maybe?). If that's true, then they're having to repeat the mistakes of and learn the lessons that companies who've made arcade games or whatever have already made or learned.

Does Dragon Quest even have gambling anymore? Or did that end during the NDS era, the way Game Corner did in Pokemon?

Everyone already knows this but the gambling minigames in San Andreas were fun. You could also use the horse racing minigame to get rich.
For some reason it seems that everyone who play Mario Party 2 likes Day at the Races, despite it being seemingly 100% RNG.
Watch Dogs has poker and fucking chess. I thought it was really good tbh.
And of course Red Dead Redemption has some nice games. The one with the dice was fun.
