In exact terms, it wasn't.

But in general, this was how a lot of gambling games "hid" from authorities in other countries.

The idea is that most people would be play the typical gambling title, then if any inspector decided to come into the venue, the operator would whack a switch to turn all of the gambling games into more-acceptable titles. Because at the point at which the venue is being raided, the focus is more on being able to maintain the existence of the venue at all, rather than some quarreling over whether a given title was functioning correctly.
