* In ''[[Dragon Quest IV]]'', Maya's gambling addiction leads her to spend all of her sister Meena's [[Fortune Teller|fortune-telling]] profits at Endor's casino, leaving them stranded in the city until [[The Hero]] arrives to recruit them for his quest.
* Makalov, from ''[[Fire Emblem Tellius|Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance]]'' and its sequel. Both he and his sister Marcia lost their jobs in the Begnion Army because of his gambling (and the huge debts he got into).

* An apocryphal story is that the Sandwich is named after John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich on the grounds of him being such a gambling addict he spent much of his waking hours at the gambling table, to the point he'd have a servant bring him sandwiches rather than leave to eat somewhere else. A biographer of him, Nicholas A. M. Rodger, actually suggested that John Montagu was such a [[Workaholic]] that he ate sandwiches instead of leaving his work.
