Do you think video games that rely on RNG are haram?

First, RNG is: Random Number Generator

The Hadeeth I'm referring to:

حَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي هِنْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى الأَشْعَرِيِّ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ مَنْ لَعِبَ بِالنَّرْدِ فَقَدْ عَصَى اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Whoever plays games of dice has disobeyed Allah and His Messenger. "

RNG basically is the algorithm running in a game's background to determine loot, rewards, battle results, draws, etc.....

The technique is very common in RPG games and specifically the Japanese turn-based ones.

The game I was stuck in (then discovered) that dice effect is Fire Emblem 4, I reached a boss-fight (Arvis in chapter 10) where only 1 unit in my army is able to defeat the boss by the condition he can dodge the one-shot attacks.

• If I enter to the boss in the 1st or 2nd turn, my character dodges the boss attack.
• If I enter to the boss in the 3rd or 4th turn, my character is insta-killed.
• If I loaded the save and repeated these turn orders, I get the same results!

i.e. The game is using a sequenced dice that determines your combat stats based on which turn you decided to move/attack = The Hadeeth!

Of course, based on these observations the game wants the player to exploit the RNG dice of the game to win the overpowered boss, something I will never bother to do or even think about.

What is your view on this Hadeeth?
