Many do around where I live, sometimes for tokens, other times for small amounts of money

The Watchtower 1st Nov 2002 says, under the heading

''Questions From Readers

Is it wrong to bet if only small amounts of money are involved?

Some might reason that betting small amounts of money while playing a friendly card or board game with relatives or close friends is no more than innocent entertainment. True, someone who bets a small amount of money may not view himself as greedy, egotistical, competitive, or superstitious. Still, what effect could his gambling have on the ones he is gambling with? Many compulsive gamblers began by making petty bets 'just for fun.' (Luke 16:10) A seemingly innocent diversion turned out to be something far more sinister in their case.''

The new Watchtower Elders manual says on page 70 that the elders would be best not to involve themselves in what individuals do with regard to petty gambling solely for entertainment, but should only get involved if this becomes a cause of stumbling for others or affects the spirituality of the individual or the congregation.

Not officially, as it is considered a form of gambling.
