"Winning for Dummies" Self-Help for Gamblers? or Casinos?!

Coming to a Las Vegas Casino near you: (From the promotional brochure)

Using the same lighthearted approach as the immensely successful "For Dummies" books, Winning For Dummies takes players on a laughfilled educational romp through dozens of zany self-help topics covering everything from antiques, golf and scuba diving to Feng Shui, plumbing and Yoga.
With its instant brand recognition, advanced interactive technology and hugely entertaining game play, Winning For Dummies is a "no brainer" for casino operators who want to increase their slot operations’ overall "IQ" (Income-generating Quotient).
Class dismissed!

This game came to my attention from the blog of Dave Schwartz, Coordinator if the Gaming Studies Research Centre at the University of Nevada Las Vegas. Dave's blog is highly entertaining reading if you are interested in gambling especially in the wacky world of Las Vegas.

Possibly this game is targeted at driving book sales, as if you don't have any money to gamble may be you will take up yoga or maybe you will take up plumbling since you don't have any money to call one.

Here is an image of the machine and a blurb from the brochure.

and here is a picture of the machines installed in a Las Vegas Casino. (From Dave Schwartz's Blog) Look closely and you may be able to work out which one.

If this doesn't tell players that winning is easy, I don't know what would. Unfortunately this is blatantly false, no matter what the game is they are designed so that players lose more than they win.

Would you want these types of machines here?
