So if the residents of a state voted voluntarily from the "bottom up" to make gambling illegal, that is or is not OK with Libertarians?

If you are speaking about a government election, absolutely not. Libertarians would oppose it to no end. If you are talking about a private election, held under rules unanimously accepted going in, then libertarians could object, but they would be obligated, as they contracted into such a covenants start with.

I should like to add, most people (Libertarian, Christians or otherwise), would not contract into such an open ended covenants to start with.

Correction - I doubt anyone would enter into such an open ended contract. People would seek to limit restrictions going in right from the start. Libertarians would for the most, part want most all of the same restrictions that Christians would for the most part,be willing to put upon themselves.
