Was the same deal with pinball in the US at one point iirc - a bunch of places tried to ban pinball because it was seen as being the same as slot machines, until a professional player got a machine in front of the supreme court and repeatedly called his shots to prove it was a skill game
It’s a cool story. They actually swapped tables on him at the last minute, replacing the one he had been practicing on. Still called the shot and saved pinball.

99PI?
Almost certainly - can’t remember where I heard it, but if it was a 99pi story it’ll be that
There’s a recent movie about it! Pinball: The Man Who Saved the Game. It was on Hulu a few months ago. A little cheesy, but honestly it’s delightful.
