Looking for a book I read in the 80s or early 90s

[Vladd67]

This book was about a gambler on a mining planet where gamblers were not liked as the miners thought you only had so much luck in life and gambling wasted it. Also the richer members of society took a drug by putting drops in their eyes.

The Song of Phaid the Gambler

Was that what you were thinking of ?

I read it last year so it was fresh in my memory.
