It may go without saying that「bone meat with stretched skin of a crotch」and「bone of pelvic region with rump and crotch yielding again and again」will most certainly be a GAMBLE (ask most any HIV-AIDS patient), but still might determine one's good luck or how fortunate one is at the moment, and the shaman may have used this method for assigning clients to service providers, the source of「getting lucky」it seems: divining.
　Formerly, DICE were not cubes, but instead pieces of bone, perhaps knucklebones as some sources suggest, yet these elements describe a baculum bone with shaved or sanded flat sides that were rolled TO CAST LOTS, TO DIVINE some sort of answer from the gods. Not only the Chinese, but the Hebrew bible contains more than as dozen examples of casting lots as a means of determining the will of Almighty God, as if that spiritual being's super powers determine how every gambling device ends up to reveal the answer (don't panic, it's 42).
　DICE have been and still are used extensively for gambling. Long wooden rods with flattened sides to represent dice as random number generators are still used in Japan today at shrines for soothsaying and foretelling one's future, if you believe in that sort of thing, although for reasons of expediency the shafts are most often drawn through a small hole in the top of a container holding a hundred or so sticks after shaking the bunch, each representing one fortune, rather than being rolled.

Modern definitions (that generally disregard history) …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may list only pigeonholed definitions, euphemisms, or meaningless mnemonics)
Chinese: dice
Unihan extended: die, dice
EDRDG: dice; bones

Always keep in mind that these glyphs were originally created by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles and analogies for their own entertainment (see 籒 for that) and represented Chinese society many thousands of years ago, and not as a written or spoken language. If these glyphs had been intended for language use, the sages could not have possibly designed a worse system. Is it truly possible that all these glyphs started out as off-color jokes and puzzles? Yes! It is! Sex had no shame in ancient China. Why would it? And now, there is a cover-up. No one is suggesting these glyphs depict contemporary life in China, Japan, or anywhere else. This site describes glyph meanings, not people. These glyphs however, describe many and various things, including people, long before there were any notions of becoming politically incorrect. The question to be answered is, should these glyphs continue being used, by anyone, anywhere, for expressing language? (More...) Despite how bad the human world is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better? Or they could only have been worse?

By the way, with a limited number of the same elements used by the sages again and again to form these glyphs, you should expect to find the same explanations again and again, as tedious as that may become, and as an inherent trait of any dictionary. This site explains the dual meanings of glyphs most often ignored by other sources that provide you with only the sanctioned definition, generally.
