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?

Parents should guard their children on the video games what they are playing, there are temptations for the children, to get acquainted and get introduced to gambling, this is very risky so many gamblers were introduced to gambling because of video games addiction.
The problem is video game players are not just children, many teenagers and even adult initially play video games then turn to gambling and become addicts. of course directives/guard from parents cannot be fully implemented. Video games are loaded with aspects of gambling, but that doesn't mean you have to stop them, lots of people play video games because they have fun right?
