In the first poem,Tom Beatty is a lawyer who try to bet and thinks that gambling is not good as the percentage of winning is very low and if you lose, you cannot get back the money and have to leave the room.
The second poem is about the people in the casino wanting to win back their money.
"the blazing desire to win back,
To take revenge, to bring back
The nerves, the time, the brain
And all that was spent in vain." shows that the energy and money spent by gamblers are useless.
The third poem is about a man who spent his only one dollar coin on gambling and now he had nothing.
The first poem is from the lawyer's point of view, while the second and the third poems are from the gamblers' point of view.
