Kingdom Hearts II
''A gambler. A high-ranking Nobody. It doesn't seem to like fighting, and just floats around aimlessly.''

Use the reaction command when it attacks with cards and dice, and let the games begin!

''Don't lose, for something terrible happens. Win for a chance to attack—and maybe even for a little something extra!''

Strategy
In-game, it drops the most amount of Munny, not by defeating one but by winning its games. Winning a game, be it a Stop Dice or Card game, forces the Nobody to drop 100 Munny and stuns it. If there are multiple Gamblers present, one game will force all Gamblers on the ground to drop 100 Munny. For example: you engage four Gamblers in a battle and one challenges you to a dice or card game. If you win it and all four Gamblers happen to be on the ground, they will collectively drop 400 Munny. You can also get a Nobody Guard shield by winning, which the Gambler will drop onto the ground. The Jackpot Ability makes them drop 50 additional Munny for every Jackpot abillity equipped. An interesting bit of trivia is that the Gambler's cards that they hold and shuffle have Nobody symbols on them, and the faces of Marluxia, Larxene, Vexen, Lexaeus, and Zexion, as well as their Organization XIII ranks.

Reaction Commands
 * Stop Dice: When the Gambler begins to throw a dice at Sora, you can use the Stop Dice reaction command to begin a game of chance. If you press O, you get valuable items. However, if you hit X you get turned into a die.
 * Begin Game: Another game of chance that involves hitting O. This time however, your command menu turns into the X's and O's menu and you will have to hit O on each bar. The outcome is mostly the same as with Stop Dice, except instead of being turned into a die you get turned into a card. A similar reaction command is used during the Luxord fight.

Have everyone equipped with the Jackpot ability. Sora should also have Wishing Lamp. Lots of Gamblers appear in Port Royal, especially where you fought Barbossa. Master the Reaction Commands above, and you will be making a lot of Munny. The same basic principle (Wishing Lamp does not have to be equipped), can be used in the Underworld Cups, to get a lot of points.

Trivia

 * The Gambler's cards display the faces of the Organization members.
