Lmao I knew you weren't going to try. You're reading off a hasty Google search because you weren't prepared for someone who actually had a clue.
Are you huffing glue? Are we going to pretend there wasn’t multiple attempts by the aristocracy and Emperors to crack down on gambling and that has been consistent throughout western history.
But then if you actually tried to parse through that period's series of "I'll huff and I'll puff" laws passed by the largely neutered Roman senate of the era, you'd have a few extra grey hairs. So good job fleeing and conceding the point I suppose.
They allowed gambling in the same way NYC cops don’t spend every weekend busting up dice games in Harlem. There was no major organized gambling industry outside of sports betting and even that was not dominated by groups over individual bets.
Sulla wasn't an Emperor he was Tyrant of Rome, the title of Emperor didn't arise until well after his death.
And I can think of more than a couple Emperors who not only endorsed and participated in gambling, but also threw public festivals of it.
Care to try again?
consistent
Consistently attempted by out of touch and largely powerless groups of perennial scolds, and on the whole ignored by the general population because you can't legislate fun.

My bad I completely forgot Justinian existed, oh wait
Nobody tell Trajan that games were illegal. It's not like he once threw a year long festival of games, races, and such or anything.
What dice games did Trajan promote again?
