Speaking of gambling, here's something which can give people insight of how arcade companies think.
Remember Bally? The most well respected pinball manufacturer in North America, owner of the Midway brand, the company which introduced the Western world to Space Invaders and Pac-Man? In the late 1980s they bought several casinos in Las Vegas and unloaded the unneeded businesses, including pinball and video games, by selling it to Williams. They gave zero fucks as the expansion into gambling was obviously seen as more profitable avenue.
