I think the background was quite intentional. I suggest you look up the lyrics and consider his greater, possibly confused search. Here is one verse from the song:Considering the background shows Casinos and gaming, and no doubt, it seems to be a good piece of music, and other than winning the lottery, I have no idea what the man is looking for. Since he didn't find that which he was looking for, the first thing that comes to my mind it might be the "desire" (which he mentions graphically) to win a jackpot lottery that would satisfy his every worldly want.
If he wanted God, the Bible makes it clear we must call upon the name of the Lord if it's a well-lived, caring life dedicated to helping others and a Christlike humility to achieve the Kingdom of God, that we are looking for. I see nothing like that, except the music and an unlikely reachable goal. Maybe his appeal is something he considers good, which goes unstated. If he's a friend of yours, and you believe he wants to follow the teachings of the Lord, please inform him to call upon the name of the Lord. God never fails us if we call upon his name in all sincerity. Mindreading is not my forte, but praising God in song for His excelence in all things we need rocks my soul. I hope all who want to be within the love and caring shared in the Kingdom of God will truly find it and abide by the Good book's Proverbs, and the lovely story of Jesus' teachings and saving grace. He lives. Love, beautress.
You broke the bonds
And you loosed the chains
Carried the cross
Of my shame
Of my shame
You know I believe it
