Sulla wasn't an Emperor he was Tyrant of Rome, the title of Emperor didn't arise until well after his death.
And I can think of more than a couple Emperors who not only endorsed and participated in gambling, but also threw public festivals of it.

Consistently attempted by out of touch and largely powerless groups of perennial scolds, and on the whole ignored by the general population because you can't legislate fun.
You weren't arguing just dice. In fact we started by talking about trading digital goods, which you claimed was gambling.
Sorry, but in the context you specifically set, betting on horse races, human athletics, chariot racing, combat, and dozens of other things does apply here.
Unless you're prepared to concede the point that trading digital items isn't gambling anyway.

Nobody tell Trajan that games were illegal. It's not like he once threw a year long festival of games, races, and such or anything.
What dice games did Trajan promote again?
Lmao blatant attempt at reduction.
