My impression is that poker has been professionalized to a degree other forms of gambling have not.

Presumably why people view Poker different is, instead of trying to beat the Casino (Black Jack, etc), with Poker you're trying to beat another person.

But regardless of it being the casino or another person, it's still a zero-sum game.
