A friend calls it "narrative gambling", because eventually we're all throwing dice and hoping it doesn't "ruin" us.
I mean, it's not entirely wrong, but saying anything involving dice and risk is gambling, thus meaning it contains the same addictive and problematic features that gambling does, is incredibly simplistic and superficial.
It's like saying carrots and coke is the same thing because both contain sugar.
How dare you!

At least not coke and buthane. That would have been worse.
Not since the accident..
