Do people consider gambling companies to be gamblers?

Exactly what I was going to ask. Is Harrahs gambling when it deals a hand of blackjack? When it deals a billion hands?
The whole argument is kind of silly because "gambling" doesn't have any single precise definition that is indisputably better than any other definition. You can consider poker to be gambling or not, depending on how you define "gambling," and depending on context.
In any event, for any player with -EV, poker is definitely gambling; and anybody who has a problem quitting poker because he likes the action does have a gambling problem.
