Summary/Abstract: The paper analyzes game-related topics found in the Bible and the Koran. As far as the Bible is concerned, the material has been extracted and described using such keywords as: competition, fight, competitors, rivals, and play while for the Koran, the keywords included: game, maisir, and divination. The conclusion is that while the Bible praises participation in contests and likens it to life, the Koran discourages people from gambling equating it with blind chance which entices one away from Allah.
