Yeah, I would also prefer altcoins for gambling. Unfortunately, not too many casinos accept altcoins (at least yet). I found that mBit casino now accepts BCH, LTC, DOGE and Bitcoincasino.us also accepting the same ones and planning on accepting ETH soon. Have read quite detailed reviews here
https://bitcoincasinoclub.net/casinos/ and then checked at the casino itself. I imagine more casinos will follow up with altcoins.
