Poker isn't necessarily considered gambling. It is one reason why some places, like California, have poker rooms.

Yes it is.

No, that's because some instances of gambling involving betting against other players are sometimes selectively regulated differently than betting against the house. Its the same reason some places, like, again, California, that prohibit casino gambling allow parimutuel betting on horse races.

California also has legal poker rooms.
