I just want to chime in and say that by the technical definition of a game, SaltyBet is one.
There is an objective (get more money)
There are possible outcomes which the player does and does not desire(you do get more money, you lose money)
There are strategies that you can enact which increase the likelihood of winning or losing (learning what the characters do, how their AI is written, how they match up)
In general, these are the major agreed upon components of "being a game" in academia.
And now you know.
