When I originally hear gambling tables, I figured they'd be like, a Jubilee wheel or something.
Not Holochess.
Now, don't give me wrong, that's one of the greatest scenes in starwars (Hell, they even made one of the /chatterspeak's "Let the wookiee win.") but Chess, and gambling... don't much go together. Cept for those like Bobby Fisher Gary Kasparov type competitions, I bet people bet on those...
Anyway, here's my thought. Why not a holochess mini-game? Eh? Eh? Two men enter, One man leave? Eh?

You mean when you hear the word "Gambling Tables" you think you'd be gambling?
Kinda like hearing the word "Smuggler" and thinking they'd smuggle!
SHHHHHH - if the Devs hear this they'll shelf the CU, they'll shelve the Smuggler revamp and exclusively work on this!!

Dejarik can (and usually is) played for money, all games in the Star Wars universe are.

You can bet on anything, really.
In-game I've bet on non-ch pet duels, droid duels(battle bots what) chance cube rolls and anything I think I can win!

Once doing a group hunt on Dath, someone said "who wants to be me 10k this chance cube rolls blue?"
Being the gambling scoundrel that I am, I took that bet. Twice. Best 20k I ever made.

Damn! You beat me to the obvious, lol.
Look, seriously, if they hadn't called it a 'gaming table' you'd be here complaining that they're having smugglers craft furniture. Oh...that IS exactly what they're doing.
You should just be thankful, I've beentold, that they gave us more of their brand of 'smuggler content'.
I think we can all see, from what they think smuggler content is, exactly the kind of thing we'll be getting in our infamous revamp.
