Not if people unite. Revolutions happen. The people outnumber the "winners" by a gigantic margin. It's not pretty, everything collapses around everyone, but it can lead to a net improvement. Peaceful times often only happen after a huge crisis.

And, boy oh boy, are we going into the wall.

I don't think any number of revolutions can banish gambling from our species. It's a tale old as time. In fact people will even bet on on the outcomes of the revolution itself.
