Video games are loaded with aspects of gambling and people of all groups and ages play these games in modern times.  Many games have things like loot boxes that you pay for to random prizes, Runescape has the duel arena where you can gamble gold against one another, and there are many more examples.

People may start off with video games and then eventually move on to higher sums gambling in real casinos.  What are your thoughts on this matter and should anything be done?

I think as long as the company makes money out of it and it is legal then they won't stop even it is the leisure time of video game fanatics out there. I am also an online RPG player, MMO, CSGO, PUB all sorts of online games i have played already in this one fact I have learned, gambling is always present, items for items and gold for gold, not only that even their characters are to be gambled if needed. Recently I have gambled my items in an online gambling site for DOTA 2 since the main event is nearing and there are tons of rare items possible to get. This can't be stopped unless item trading are not available and that is part of the game.
