A Look at Gambling in Video Games | MAGFest 2026

Card games such as poker and blackjack have existed long before Pong, but it didn't take long for these classic card games to appear in video game titles. The 80s and 90s saw an influx of casino style games that looked to emulate the feel and style of playing high stakes games in Vegas. This panel explores those games and what they attempted to bring to the medium of video gaming. Where are these gambling video games now? We'll take a glimpse on how these games molded gaming from it's earliest days to our contemporary gaming scene. MAGFest is run by MAGFest, Inc., a volunteer-supported 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to furthering the appreciation of video games, video game culture, and video game music.
