To me, being a core gamer or not has to do with how you approach the medium.
Core gamer typically see gaming as their main to only hobby, whereas for casual gamers it is only of lower importance.
They often do it as a replacement for something else that is unavailable rather than it being their first choice.
I assume everyone will have a somewhat different definition on it, but for me, the following scenario describes it the term fairly well:
The casual meets with his/her friends during the day and plays an hour or two in the evening.
The core gamer meets with his/her friends online in a game and they play together 'til midnight
