Thats' interesting using Charlie Daniels "Good Ole Boy." I had another Charlie in mind - rollin' seven come eleven down in the boy's gym - Charlie Brown - the Coasters.
Yeah, that song came to mind first but every lyric site that I checked said that the lyrics are "From 7 come 11 down in the boy's gym".
Only having 4 words to work with made that one a real toughie!

Next:
fortune wheel and throw dice

Ramblin, Gambling Man - Bob Seger, when he had the System. Probably the only System song he includes on his set list, or also Heavy Music.

Poker and the Roulette wheel. And Rhino knows who did a cover of this one.

Yeah, clean, I'm almost positive that Ramblin Gamblin Man is the only song from the "System" days that Seger ever plays in concert.
I was lucky enough to see him last year and it was a tremendous show!

Holding aces and eights tight  
Not sure about this one but I will guess Gambler's Blues - Golden Earring
Rhino - Yes on this one, but back on "Wheel of fortune stops" I was looking for "Lucky Lady" by 69 Eyes  
I've noticed that most of these gambling phrases are commonly used so it does make it harder to find the right song

were aces backed with eights
Rambling Gambling Willie  --  Bob Dylan
