Do you think that will prevent the supposed harm?

Lottery tickets include odds on the back of the cards. I think that has a very small effects on discouraging play. And those odds are pretty straight forward (1 in 2,000,000 for a 500k payout). I imagine information about how randomization works would be even more indecipherable.

Which supposed harm in this case, there is more than one.

Currently online games are free to swap out algorithms in realtime in order to maximize revenue. You have no idea what your chance of winning even is.

I don't think knowing the chances of winning would change behavior of the consumer, much like knowing the lottery payoff is abysmal doesn't stop people from playing. That was my point.

It doesn't stop everyone but it does stop me and most of my friends

No, but it requires the purchaser to be informed of the odds. The only reason a company wouldn't want to inform a customer about their product is when they are hiding something.
