Not quite. Gambling games are stigmatized and heavily regulated in Italy, and MAME is of course of Italian origin (and continues to have many awesome Italian contributors and dumpers).
Regarding my earlier point, a majority of the working gambling games in MAME were added by H*z*, Kale, Luca, and Robbie and never were part of AGEMAME.
