Not even that, western gaming already embraced lootboxes years ago, e.g FIFA is a monstrosity well before even Genshin became a huge hit during COVID.

Bunch of 1950s-style mobsters seated around a table in a dark room, all smoking cigars, arguing over how to get into the Uma Musume racket.

There's a Sopranos episode where Chris off-handedly mentions wanting to steal trucks filled Pokemon cards or something. I think they end up getting a truck filled with Centrum Multivitamins.

This sounds like something they would make. The setting says there are no horse bets, which is why the horses earn money with the singing and the dancing...

I say that, where there is a competition, there is someone betting on it. Criminal horse girl mobsters pls.
