Clearly.

My personal model revolved around high stakes, deceptive simplicity, and false hope. I had the standard casino fare with high minimums, but the main attraction was just a single pachinko machine that I designed much of. The rich would treat it as a novelty, a regular game of chance for a little suspense and excitement, but the poor generated the most profits - knowing that it requires no skill or intelligence, they would desperately claw at any chance they could get, stealing, selling everything they owned, sometimes taking loans from other branches of our company for a chance.

It worked beautifully.
