I really don't believe that Saudi princesses and similar are a meaningfully large demographic to be relevant in this market. I'd also think that ungodly rich oil royalty has better ways to spend their time and money than pay-to-play games.

The underlying hypothesis that these games have addictive properties targeting a segment with maybe low impulse control seems far more plausible. These are slot machines, not high-stakes blackjack tables.
