It is quite common in law (and common parlance too) for "gaming" and "game" to mean specificall a game of chance played for money. We are lacking all the relevant context here, and there is no reason to get uptight yet. If this is really something that makes playing electronic chess illegal, then I'm sure we will find out by some mechanism other than the rumor mill.
