Gambling represents a feeling of opportunity for so many people in this world, so it's not a surprise dice art has taken off the way it has. Not only are there a lot of actual functional dice designs out there, but dice themselves have been used as materials for more than one non-gambling design project over the last few years.
There's the dice-inspired dress worn by Katy Perry. The dress is riddled with dice along the front, maybe implying someone might get lucky? We also see dice shaped MP3 players all the way down to dice salt and pepper shakers.
The essence of gambling is that everyone has a chance to walk away with more than they came with. And applying this principle to dice art makes perfect sense.
