If you want to see a lighter take on gambling, maybe Kakegurui or No Game No Life.
If you want death game stuff, maybe Btooom!. Mirai Nikki is also a classic in the same vein. Much more over the top would be the Fate series (Fate Stay Night, Fate Unlimited Blade Works, Fate Zero, etc.) Much less intense but still enjoyable was Death Parade. And we're getting pretty far from the theme but theoretically Sword Art Online checks the death game box; reviled by true connoisseurs ๐ท, I still think it's plenty enjoyable if you don't think about it too deeply.
If you're looking for something in the "psychological" category, I can recommend Psycho-Pass for something serious with action, Oshi no ko for something serious with drama ,or Kaguya-sama wa kokurasetai! for a lighter take.
Saw the first 3 suggestions. So I know the rest of these suggestions are going to be good :) thanks
Oh yeah, I'm realizing this late but I've got a feeling you might like twists on the magical girl genre like Mahou Shoujo Ikusei Keikaku. Puella Magi Madoka Magica was among the first and is all a fan favourite, but it's not the one I like the most.
