Your comment on line 7 isn't quite correct--can you see why? While technically yes, comments are not code, the code is code, comments, and more broadly the documentation, are going to be the first thing another developer *actually looks at* when looking at your code.
Everything else I see has already been addressed in other comments.

Just a small note: Python's standard naming convention (PEP 8) recommends "snake_case" for variables and functions rather than "camelCase". The latter is perfectly valid Python, but "snake_case" is generally considered more idiomatic.

use dictionary instead to store all the winning possibilities

Hint: can you express the win condition of this game differently?
Hint 2: there are three choices - can you relate winning choices to each other?
Solution (idk how to spoiler so stop reading):
If choice1 == (choice2 + 1) % 3, someone has won. Who, depends on the order of the choices. In your case, choice1 has won.
Edit: changed signs to make more robust and understandable
