In short chance can be seen as often nothing more than a catch-all for things that the game does not otherwise simulate: “chance” in the game represents not “chance” in some sense in the real world, but instead marks the limits of the simulation: the presence of chance may thus be a sign-post in the game that says “Simulation Stops Here”.
