They are military. They signed up to live under military discipline. So how about imposing on them the discipline of not gambling, at least on base? The Navy has strict rules banning alcohol on ship: strict rules are not impossible

When I wore the uniform, it was handled indirectly with constant reminders that failing to satisfy debt obligations is punishable by Article 134 of the UCMJ.

Some places need extra reminders and discipline though, e.g. Nellis AFB (Las Vegas, NV) and Keesler AFB (Biloxi, MS) are two bases I'm familiar with that come to mind.
