Does your child play games that resemble gambling?

iphones and ipads can be great tools for children's learning, and kids seem to have a lot of fun with them. If you're a parent, we're curious about how, when, and which games you allow your child to play.

We've heard that some games have features akin to gambling, and some even allow you to spend real money to advance in the game. Does your child play any of these games? If so, tell us about your experience.
