The answer

If the programmer knows that the purpose of the program is gambling, then it is not permissible for him to do so, nor to assist the one requesting it by completing it, due to the Almighty's saying: "And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression." The programmer did well by refusing to deliver the program, and he must return the price to its owner.
