Now do not voting/non-participation. Is that increasing democracy? Is it leading to positive outcomes? Does it lead to outcomes that are even marginally better than voting?

Comparing voting to gambling is asinine, since not gambling has no effect on you, but not voting does not. And whether or not my vote increases democracy, not voting doesn’t increase it either and leads to outcomes like we have now.

It’s a cute idea, but that’s about it and only really makes sense if you choose not to be pragmatic in the slightest.
