[James Bond] Where does Bond's wealth come from?

Is it the casinos?
gpt
He's got some investments and inherited income, but for the most part he isn't exactly rolling in cash; at the end of the day, he's just a civil servant with a decent amount of seniority. But he spends most of his days on mission, eating, sleeping and drinking on the Queen's dime, and his effective per diem is an infinity symbol so long as he doesn't abuse the privilege. In practice, he only has a few months on any given year where he actually needs to pay his own way, so he can afford to party hard.

As far as the gambling, yes, he can get extra income that way. The books in particular have him as a member of a social club where one of the requirements is that you need to win or lose a certain amount at the tables each year or pay a fine, so he constantly has access to high class play during his downtime.
