A gamer is someone who plays interactive games, usually video games or physical games (in some countries, such as the United Kingdom, the term "gaming" can also refer to legalized gambling, which can take both traditional—i.e. tabletop—and digital forms—akin to video games), and plays for usually long periods of time. There are many gamer communities around the world. Many of these take the form of Internet forums and YouTube/Twitch virtual communities, as well as in-person social clubs.
