Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may God protect him):
It is prohibited if the item is considered gambling by common understanding (the determination of this is the responsibility of the individual). It is also prohibited if it is not gambling but is played with a wager.

Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei (may God protect him):
If it is commonly regarded as gambling paper, then playing with it is prohibited (the determination of this is the responsibility of the individual). Even if the item itself is not considered gambling, if it is used to play gambling games, such as 'Arba' Miah', it becomes gambling with playing cards and is also prohibited.
