Gambling Altcoins is better currently because of the lie transaction fees and faster confirmations but we have to be prepared to pay something extra if we want to exchange them for bitcoins and that's where a pot of people stutter.
that's what most of us here said before, because of much faster and lesser transaction fee its a good alternative to play using alts and we can easily
trade it back to btc after we win, other than that i think its still the same because we are still risking our money.
