I don't see what the problem is. Apparently, from the evidence presented, on some servers in the classic period it was permitted, and in some servers, it was not. SO?
The server staff here has determined that its not permitted. They operate a free service. You don't have to pay ANYTHING to play. Donations are nice, but as I understand it, they are not required, nor could they require them even if they wanted to.
They set the rules. They can also change those rules. I never participated in the casinos. I routinely added them to my ignore list, so I didn't have to deal with the spam. (I have no problem with gambling, just with the spam)
If/when they (the GM's) choose to permit NPC gambling, you can get your fix.
