Like Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth’s Queens Blood and The Witcher 3’s Gwent, there could be various characters dotted throughout Outlaws looking to play a game of Sabacc with Kay Vess. As it’s not uncommon for characters in games to have multiple roles, it’s very well possible that Lando will take on the role of both Sabacc challenger and teacher. But whether Lando will have a bigger role is unsure. It would be interesting if he does, but he probably won’t.
