About Divining Arrows
Believers! This liquor [462] and gambling and stone altars and divining arrows are all filthy handiworks of Satan (Surah Maidah, ayah 90)Could someone explain to me what stone alters and diving arrows mean in detail.Secondly I’ve seen gambling being translated as games of chance, does the Arabic word used for gambling in the verse speak specifically of games of chance or is it completely analogous to gambling I.e games of chance that involve winning or losing money?

Alatars were the places that were associated with some deities. The details can be found at the following link. \https://www.javedahmedghamidi.org/#!/quran?chapter=5¶graph=40&type=Both#fn_279
Gambling is also termed a game of chance because it is merely a game of chance. All games have an element of chance, but they involve effort which plays a significant role in winning, while gambling is purely a game of chance.

I don’t understand what divining arrows means ? Was it a game ?

They appointed a portion of camel’s meat for each arrow and then blindly and randomly picked them to see what portion of meat they got. Then they distributed their share to poor and beggars.
