Simple gambling games?

Question

Can anyone help me think of some simplistic gambling games? The kind a small child would be able to understand- like blackjack or a switching a pea under 3 shells- that level of simplicity.

It can be an already existing game or you can make it up on the spot- I don't mind.

Answer 1

Blackjack is not a simple game!  To properly understand blackjack strategy takes a lot of studying (like what to do when the dealer has 3 and you have 12).  I would suggest roulette or coin flipping.

Answer 2

coin flipping, heads or tails. also...u can roll a dice and choose 3 numbers.

Answer 3

gambling?! you need to invest your money. what are you thinking? gambling always has the possibility of you losing money!

Answer 4

Go Fish!

Answer 5

unless you are speaking of an older person with the mind of a child perhaps it would be better to teach  reading ,math and other educational skills to a young child.
