Haven't seen that, will check it out at some point. :P
But sounds like you mean a catchphrase, I mean an ambient sound effect.
It's an ambient sound effect that the author uses when the stakes are raised for the protagonists, which happens often enough (they eventually full ham and made the sound effect as part of some of the OST, which is what you may have seen). It's a little off topic, but I'd even go as far as saying that Kaiji is, thematically speaking, one of the closest series out there to Re:Zero in terms of having a plucky protagonist playing around in a field he does not belong to. And paying for it, but growing in the process. It is a gambling series instead of a fantasy series, but in terms of the sense of despair and piling misfortunate upon misfortunate it doesn't get much closer.
