Introduction
It appears that currently there's not much mapped in the way of gambling locations. Even bookmakers maintain a rather weak presence with less than 40 occurrences according to tagwatch. Considering the abundance of gambling, pretty much the world over, I think this could be affected by the lack of documented tagging standards.
Suggestion 1
My original idea was to propose the gambling=* key, to be use in conjunction with amenity=gambling. These values could be also used with other tags, if gambling is not the primary function of the location. Such as amenity=restaurant, gambling=slot_machines.
Suggestions / corrections welcome.
- gambling=casino - Usually a large building with several types of gambling opportunities inside
- gambling=slot_machines - Automated machines, designed to steal your money
- gambling=lottery - Location selling lottery tickets
- gambling=betting - A place for setting up various types of bets
- gambling=bingo - A place designed for playing the game of bingo
- gambling=* - Suggestions welcome on the talk page
If a place offers multiple different types of gambling, you may use a semi-colon separated list as the value (but consider if the place is really a casino). This approach use same logic as Key:cuisine for restaurants.
Suggestion 2
An alternative way to render gambling opportunities is with the use of separate key:value combinations applied to a feature mapped with either an existing tag (such as amenity=cafe) or to a new amenity=gambling feature. These could include the following:

Rendering
A rolling dice:
Open questions
- Which tagging scheme is better? Proposal 1 or Proposal 2? This should be decided before going in depth with the finer points of tagging.
- leisure=gambling or perhaps amenity=gambling?
