Do simulations help to break into Investment Banking?

Do online simulations, such as Finasta Investment Game (www.invest-game.com), help candidates to get an offer at investment bank in Sales&Trading department?

I like those kind of things but is it worth spending a lot of time on them gaining skill, or better prepare for interviews?

 

If it is a competition, then maybe... like CME commodity trading challenge among all the colleges. If you are on top, I think it could help you get some interviews, but it won't count as experience, more like as your interest and passion...
