It's come up a couple of times in one shots I've played in or ran, sometimes with the item being gambled for being of note, othertimes the gambling being a means of information gathering. My character's vice in the Between PbP campaign I'm in is also cheating at cards so... There it also serves to clear conditions.
Like most things, if it matters to the story (or as part of the problems in an OSR/NSR game), either as a character beat or part of the actual plot, it's useful to focus on, otherwise it's best left as flavour.

Interesting character choice and sounds like quite the chronicle. Yes, writing and deleting memories and skills was a bit much for me, and some of the prompts didn't quite fit. Even with group GMing sometimes things just happen to progress the story forward, though I think using a fail forward mechanic wouldn't quite work with 1000 Year old Vampire.
Good luck with the final episodes!
