That was kind of the question. Presumably, naively, one could pull random numbers from random sources in a network, or maybe even this/these operations could produce randomness, whereby the production of randomness (numbers and/or sources) could be verified, and used to satisfy some conditions.
Crude example for a roll of dice:
Put in some redeeming script (if that in itself is a thing) if this random hash that I got from a random source, all of which I imagine is verifiable, ends in ... then the next roll of the dice is ..., and if that dice roll is ..., then pay ..., else pay ...

How can we turn the lightning network into a casino where you could be the house (or a part of it) or the gambler?

Shoot, I wonder if hashes of contracts themselves could be the randomness used in some script.
Way above my pay grade
The most i can guarantee you is we're doing some challenge for it to compete against other nostrichs
