Wraith's backstory is about gambling but I want her character design to stay all about poker, so why not add another character that can be a catch-all for all the other fun gambling themed ideas? Maybe this guy is a real cheater, he plays with weighted dice, but he's ready to risk it all on RNG.
I imagine this guy looks like Odlaw and moves like Waluigi. He is lanky, bendy, moves in a comically evil way. Maybe he wears suspenders over a seersucker shirt, and he wears a straw boating hat. He likes the dice game craps. He doesn't want to be involved with poker night, he's not a sophisticated liar, he's a hustler and a thief and a cheat. Maybe he's this guy Ace from the Twilight Zone episode "The Prime Mover" that exploits a telekinetic friend named Jimbo to help him cheat at dice.
This character made some deal with the devil for luck, but sometimes the devil cuts off his luck at the worst times to teach him a lesson. He tries to stack the odds in his favor, but even with fair odds he can't resist betting it all on a game of chance.
He puts on brass knuckles for his heavy melee.
For his gun he throws dice, and the dice have an element of randomness. Left click is just throwing a single die, he throws them with a sort of flick. Right click could be throwing ~5 or more/the rest with an open underhand throw. Each shot would do its own random amount of extra damage. He could walk around shaking dice in his right hand, like he's shuffling them before a throw. The first two dice after he reloads are weighted and do extra damage, this extra damage scales with spirit power.
He throws darts, he gets 3 charges at max level. The darts do extra damage with a headshot, they do extra damage if all 3 charges hit the same person. When he gets a headshot kill he can say "Bullseye". When he gets a triple kill he can yell "One hundred and eighty!"
He throws a roullete wheel that does a big AoE burst. It's like Doorman's bell but it spins and coasts in the air before dropping and exploding on impact. For every enemy it hits, their result is random. Almost half the time, it does gun damage and gun lifesteal and lowers gun resistance (black), and almost half the time it does spirit damage with spirit lifesteal and lowers spirit resist (red), then rarely it does some of both (green). Teammates will be able to see the vulnerability indicators and everyone can choose which type of damage is now the best to throw at this vulnerable enemy.
He gets a movement ability in the form of a dash where he briefly dodges any projectiles by being really lucky.
For his ult, a slot machine with 3 slots spins and stops, and whatever they randomly land on is an effect that gets applied to everyone targeted. The slots can land on extra damage, vulnerability, silence, disarm, or slow. If something shows up twice then it gets a boost, and if all 3 slots land on the same option then there is an even bigger boost.
