At least one of the things they gambled on was dice!

It seems like “the Gambler” might be a case of modern mythology, but based on a real historical group that did engage in gambling practices. I say that because the first mention of such a figure only dates back 100 years ago. However there was a culture/evidence of widespread gambling as a form of spiritual/cultural practice.
