Not in the bible, but the talmud says that someone who "plays with doves [i.e. gambles on pigeon races]" is disqualified from being a witness (i.e. their moral character is suspect).
Gambling is considered a form a stealing since the person who lost doesn't actually want to give their money to you, they are forced to by the roll of the dice. In normal commerce you get something when you pay. (And don't say people enjoy playing, no one enjoys playing, people enjoy winning.) I believe, but am not sure, that lotteries are not considered as bad though.
