I want to get together a list of songs that are about gambling. They don't have to refer to it in the title, but the subject of the song has to be primarily about gambling.
This was inspired by having just heard 'Ace of Spades' by AC/DC on the radio!
asked in music, gambling, fun question

KentPDG answers:

Be sure to include Gambala, a Frankie Laine song from oh so many decades ago. It's an ode to "... Gambala the gambling lady".

Blow Up the Pokies
By The Whitlams

There was the stage, two red lights and a dodgy P.A.
You trod the planks way back then
And it's strange that you're here again, here again

And I wish I, wish I knew the right words
To make you feel better, walk out of this place
and Defeat them in your secret battle
Show them you can be your own man again

Don't, don't explain
Lots of little victories take on the pain
It takes so long to earn
You can double up or you can burn, you can burn

And I wish I, wish I knew the right words
To make you feel better, walk out of this place
and Defeat them in your secret battle
Show them you can be your own man again

And I wish I, wish I knew the right words
To blow up the pokies and drag them away
'Cause they're taking the food off your table
So they can say that the trains run on time

Flashing lights, it's a real show
And your wife? I wouldn't go home
The little bundles need care
And you can't be a father there, father there

And I wish I, wish I knew the right words
To make you feel better, walk out of this place
and Defeat them in your secret battle
Show them you can be your own man again, show them you can be your own man again..

And I wish I, wish I knew the right words
To blow up the pokies and drag them away
'Cause they're taking the food off your table
So they can say that the trains run on time

~Another man there was made the trains run on time
