I didn't know this idiom's etymology, but I'll remember now that it originated from card games :-)

Games in which you follow suit are not generally gambling games.

Bridge is the first that springs to mind, and that is most definitely a gambling game.

Do you say that because of the bidding mechanism itself, or is there actually a culture of wagering on bridge games? I wasn't aware of that.

The latter - although I've read that it's never attracted the kind of money you see in high stakes poker.
