If the name of the game is "Lynx Casino" why not put the word "Lynx" somewhere on the label (besides where it usually is. I mean, there's no game to my knowledge called "Lynx Scrapyard Dog" or anything. it's called "Scrapyard Dog" and it's for the Lynx. Just been pondering this for a while now.

Anyway, I still want to know why it says just "Casino" on the label.

Okay I'll stop mucking about and point out that while it say Casino on the cartridge...
the box actually says Lynx Casino...
Just guesses now, not facts but I'd venture to say that A) two different people worked on the label B) they couldn't fit the art on the cart so they were direct and to the point, since after all it does already say Lynx rather large... it may have been silly, redundant, or both, looking at a mirror image.

Actually, looking at that, I interpret it as just a sign on the building; nothing to do with the actual title of the game.
If you take it literally, it's Lynx Games Casino Games...

Well the it's on the side of the box and title of the game when played too. Plus it was on price lists at Lynx Casino.

Somehow I think this ties into a conspiracy theory, I just haven't figured it out yet...

yea the lynx on the building looks really tacked on after the fact probably due to the placement of the lynx logo in the box standard location not matching up like on the cart
but if we are to assume it to be called "lynx casino" by the cart label (which if taken literally should be "atari lynx casino")
