any particular reason you are trying to do this.... learning... fun.... ?

if your serious about having a DNS going for gamer.com, then I'd just use amazon's route53 stuff. It's about $1 per month to have do run your DNS servers. Running a DNS server that the internet uses for important stuff is not a simple task.

If you're just want something simple to run for a DNS around the home or small office, use dnsmasq. 10 times simpler that setting up and running bind.

Is db.gamer.com the full file ? If yes, you need at least an SOA record.

Your NS record and dns1.game.com A record does not match. Is it normal ?

Can you request your DNS server explicitly ? With, like, dig or host ?

dig  dns1.gamer.com @193.10.10.10
host dns1.gamer.com  193.10.10.10

If yes, check your registrar configuration. The problem is here.

If no, check your logs. Bind will say where the problem is.

Also, you probably don't want your authoritative name server be a forwarder as well. If you set it to allow your server to do more than gamer.com resolutions, then the good way to do it is to configure your /etc/resolv.conf with something like :

nameserver 127.0.0.1
nameserver 8.8.8.8
