No title or interest in money or any other thing can be acquired, lost, or changed by gambling, or by the payment, delivery, or transfer by any losing party. No note or security for any supposed debt growing out of a gambling transaction, or for money lent to gamble with or to pay gambling debts with, shall be valid. No such debt shall be a legal consideration for any contract or transaction, and any person may take advantage of such illegality, though a party to the transaction.
