As someone who works with one of the big poker companies, I can say that I do consider online gambling a form of entertainment that on average costs the users a small fee to use - in a way similar to how movies cost to be produced and offered in your local cinema. Sadly this way of seeing the business is not widespread, and many in the company are thinking in terms of getting people's money off them...

Then you can make the argument that a lot of cinemas are also focused on making money off their customers.

In complexity I feel that poker surpasses chess, and the only game that I find can be comparable is Go, although I don't know Go well enough to make such a statement. But the way that the trapper can turn out to be the trapped in poker and in Go is amazing.

I don't really think that complexity is so important. There is enough in chess to learn to fill a lifetime.
In addition go is more about harmony than about trapping your opponent.
