More like MMORPGs and similar which have a show allowing players to trade, where the "different entities" are also _legally bound by contract to keep to rules_ set by the game publisher and the ledger is mainly about auditing, automated anomaly detection etc. I.e. not NFTs at all. It also doesn't prevent cheating, just makes it manageable for the publisher.
I don't see a use-case for (crypto currency based) NFTs in gaming tbh. You could put them in, but whatever you do has simpler cheaper solutions (which still might use some of the tech NFTs also use). Like most relevant you probably don't want the "crypto currency based" part. To much loss of control and/or legal liabilities.
For things like poker and online gambling there is no point in adding additional complexity to the system for IMHO no relevant benefit. There is also generally no point to add federation. Online casinos work (technically) quite-well with boring classical web technology. (IMHO too well, I'm not a fan of online gambling).
I guess using some form of federated or state controlled Leger you force online casinos to log all gambles on, for auditing them/undermining tax evasion/preventing money laundering could maybe work. But again while this uses crypto currency/NFT related tech it's not quite the same.
But companies which focus on the tech behind the scene can likely provide whatever is needed.
