In traditional slots you pay a coin, and if a certain sequence comes up, you get some winnings. I think everyone will agree that's a form of gambling.

In bitcoin, to create coins, you pay some electricity, and if a sequence of 0's comes up, you win some bitcoins.

Is this aspect a form of gambling?

And if so, is that illegal in the U.S.?

bitcoin is not a gambling, it's real like an investment, we can make certain about the value

Bitcoin is different from gambling. Not because you're putting money in it also means that you're playing games remember that it's investing. And remember that gambling is a technique where you will put risks and gain or loose your money easily while bitcoin involves waiting and patience. They may be similar in concept but for me the best comparison of bitcoin is business.
