Can I file Standard Deductions if I have a W-2G?

Yes.

If the total of your itemized deductions is lower than the standard deduction, you can always use the Standard deduction.

Please note that you can claim gambling losses up to the amount of your gambling gains as an itemized deduction.

Gambling losses can only be deducted up to the amount of the gambling winnings.
Gambling winnings are reported on Form 1040 Schedule 1 on Line 8b. The amount from Part I of Schedule 1 Line 10 flows to Form 1040 Line 8.

Gambling Losses are reported on Form 1040 Schedule A as a Other Itemized Deductions. Gambling losses are not a one-for-one reduction in winnings. Your total itemized deductions reported on Form 1040 Schedule A must be greater than the standard deduction for your filing status to have any tax benefit.
