In an indictment for gambling or gaming it shall be sufficient to charge the general name or description of the game at which the defendant may have played, without setting forth or describing with or against whom he may have bet or played; and an objection shall not be sustained to any such indictment for any defect or want of form, but the court shall proceed to give judgment according to the very right of the case.
