As far as i know pachinko is also legal in Japan and there are a lot of pachinko parlors all over the country. Another Muslim country in Asia.- Brunei (guided by Sharia law), has banned all forms of gambling.
You can also check it out and do some research and maybe update the thread above. I think there's a lot more, but maybe majority of us here are lucky that we live in a country wherein gambling is legal and regulated.

I was surprised that gambling is prohibited in Japan but then I realized I was thinking about China where most of the gambling games came from. I don't know but every Japanese historical movie I watched doesn't have any gambling scene looks like even in the movies they don't want to promote it, unlike Chinese and Korean movies where they also have some dramas and movies that are concentrated on gambling like "Daebak" Korean drama.
japan? 
Seriously, are casinos illegal in japan? Why is a country that seems to me like a country of more open-minded people against gambling?
I can't understand this.
Conclusion:It's fascinating how some countries completely declaring gambling as illegal while implementing some amendments just to still sneak gambling in there country for there own personal gains reason. Learning different countries gambling laws make me realize that govenment can't totally suppress gambling activities. There's still a lot of people playing online gambling despite the danger involves by doing it.
That's something you can't avoid. Why? Because gambling involves a lot of money. That the same goes with alcohol and cigarette. Government knew about the danger of this vices but still they allow it while putting a campaign advertisement about the danger of such abusive act of alcohol and cigarette. That's how ironic it is.
Some countries are seizing illegal gambling. Illegal in a sense that they didn't secure documents to legalize their gambling business. Again, that's something an official's personal gain.
a little off topic in the case of alcohol governments only limit themselves to advertising the dangers of alcohol but they do nothing else, the companies that manufacture alcohol are getting richer and the number of people addicted to alcohol only increases

Gambling law exclusion is the most bullshit thing I heard. They allowing other nationality to gambling in the country which the citizen is not allowed to play. This is the reason why many big time gambler like Chinese are using other country casino to wash there money that acquired on illegal activities. Government didn't care about this transactions and focus only on the tax from this foreign money.
Bttzed03 already stated the possible source for the list of there countries that you can add up on your list. Keep on researching.

Yes that's totally bullshit knowing their citizen cannot decide for their selves on what they want to do but maybe their government is so conservative towards this that's why they have such heavy restriction towards their people. But I don't know about your claims if big time gamblers really do that since if that's the case its unfair for small time gambler to have this implementation since there are people who likes to play occasionally to have fun.

That's right, my country also non legalizes gambling and prohibits all forms of gambling-related activities...Bttzed03 already stated the possible source for the list of there countries that you can add up on your list. Keep on researching.
maybe you can add Indonesia as a country that prohibits all types of activities that smell like gambling and that applies throughout Indonesia without exception, So that's a lot of rich Indonesian people who play gambling in Macau or other countries that legalize gambling.

You can find them most of them on an online casino's list of restricted countries. Curacao is an example.
