A webliography of digitized historical books on gaming and gambling

I made this bibliography in order to have an overview over what I have found and not to sort out the various editions of the same book every time again. Especially those volumes not listed in the usual repositories (Google Books, Open Library, HathiTrust) are sometimes hard to find. It cannot be complete, of course. Additions would be very much appreciated!
