Actually Melvin Cooper is probably right about this. The statute prohibits Mississippi public community colleges & universities from teaching "gaming" related courses. The intent of this was to keep the community colleges in particular from teaching such trades as blackjack dealing or "roulette table management technology" or other "trades" that might merely train gamblers.

One drawback of the statute is that existing electronics programs (think community colleges here) can't teach students how to repair video poker or slot machines.

But for the "management level" programs that universities would teach, there really isn't a hill of beans difference between "casino management" & "hotel and restaurant management" ... except for the accounting stuff & that conforms to Sicilian standards anyway...
