The meaning is directly compositional: 'gaming' qualifies 'card' to indicate a card used for gaming or gambling, so a learner who knows both words can infer a card used in games like poker. This noun–noun compound follows a regular English modifier + head pattern and is cross-linguistically transparent, so the sense is immediately comprehensible to a B1 learner.
