Not a bad idea, but...

This sounds like a custom char. think

When faced with two choices just simply flip a coin. Not because it settles the question for you, but because that one second it is in the air you suddenly know what you are hoping for.

mmm....... the gambler seems like more of a normal character rather than gamble O_O like in my opinion the gambler if the description fits it should go like

Ability 1: Card Tricks: Throws a barrage of cards at enemies stunning them for 0~10 seconds in 0~500 radius from the target for -x~x(on this example the x has the same value like... -10 to 10, -1 to 1, etc since it's really a gamble it should be a gamble >_> to see if it'd heal the enemies or damage them in real life gambling doesn't workout very often so yup :P) * agi

Ability 2 seems like a gamble but kind of useless as well O_O

Ability 3:Roll the die: Rolls a Magical Giant X-sided(this time x should be an even number) Dice at the enemies that changes the weight with the number rolled either flattening them or making their feet lighter with chance of 100% critical hit for the victums or their enemies.
Dice lands on - number =(all numbers after the = sign will be positive) that number * X% haste for the enemies in the area of effect with healing that number * agi, and grants them number rolled x normal damage critical hit for number rolled seconds
Dice lands on + number = Stuns for the duration of the spell for the enemies in the area of effect dealing number rolled * agi damage and makes them take number rolled x 100% damage for number rolled seconds.

as for the ultimate... I can't really think of what to say to that except that... yami-chi can't make custom models >_< he said so before >_< so you needz to make the cards for hims >_> personally i think ult should be like... 100% positive number rolls and double spell effects for some amount of time >_> rather than summoning something O_O but hey it's your idea, and ummm i just wanted to make the abilities fit the description of the character a bit more :P

Well i had a future hero idea similair to this... it was a character who depended on luck, having skills that could do between hurting the user so much that it insta kills (the user)to doing insane damage on a monster.

mmmm you could turn my ability descriptions from healing the monsters to damaging the caster instead, which is another way of making it become a gamble but the whole point about that healing monsters and stuff was so that gambler would be more damaging if he were to fail the gamble O_O like if all monsters around people gets damaged... it just seems like O_O GAMBLERRRR ILLL KILLL YOUZZZZ RAWWWRRRR by monsters and allies >_> rather than all oh noes i failed, oh well i got 50 mil health from the sphere of azazoth, few million damages don't really matter, plus the regen will heal me up right away ^-^ you know? :P monsters being buffed seems more damaging especially in chaos if you were to heal them since healing probably won't be reduced by the armor making the healing that much more effective

Personally I really like the ultimate's name. Sure he choose it in bias, but its a pretty sick choice nonetheless... also why is everybody so strung up about custom models? its just a model... anyways if you like one so much just make a new account with the name of the model, viola semi-custom no hassle model.

Also, I think some of the most interesting (if not always practical) abilities are the active buff/debuff scheme. You could expand abil 2 to include random consumable items. From temporary giant strength potion to "spell in a bottle" it'd always be an interesting cast. Especially if the quality of the item increased either with skill or level. could even call it: bag of tricks

Random potentially awesome after thought, he could have an abil to cast a spell of another hero... unfortunately this would be awful to make for anything but trigger spells and even then it'd be a stretch.
