From what I've heard, they dropped the casinos from the Pokemon games in order to drop the overall rating for the games so it'd be E for Everyone. I think the gambling games caused it to get a 13 and up rating, which they didn't want. I think the digital re-releases of the old games have these higher ratings.

IIRC it was primarily for Europe and we don't have "E for Everyone"

Actually, apparently you non-Europeans even had slot machines as a region exclusive for Pokemon Platinum! http://www.gamesradar.com/european-pokemon-platinums-missing-game-corner-explained/

Well, I mean like the lowest ratings possible for the game. I think gambling games in pokemon are just out in general now.
