Are you trolling or genuinely never played a card game? What, are you going to call uno (copy/paste from the card game crazy eights and sold at 10x the price) gambling next? What about snap.
Yeah. Same game, reskinned cards and sold at a much higher price and can’t really play anything else with them. Then over time they add other gimmicks like some ewaste that throws cards on the floor for you and makes the game cost 30 times as much as a pack of cards.
Where do you think the line is that a card game becomes gambling then?
I would have said its when you are playing a game for stakes that have a real value that persists after the game is complete, so when 4 go in with £5 and 1 leaves with £20. Clearly your definition must be different to that.
If it teaches gambling and has slot machine makeup, its close enough to gambling that kids should not be exposed to it.
I mean look at the big picture. Anonymous Dev created a casino experience with poker at the core, but they changed the money to points. This same Dev is promoting several other games such as “slot machine deck builder” and “blackjack deck builder”. Please look at this from higher up. Something slimy is afoot.
In what way? Slot machines have a very distinct look and at best I could the small blind, big blind and boss blind columns indicating the 3 columns in a slot machine, but if that’s the thing then any game with 3 column separate 3 choices has a slot machine makeup? If you meant the game somehow uses slot machine iconography I don’t, I really don’t know what to say then. It would be completely delusional.
Anonymous Dev created a casino experience
Clearly not completely anonymous as he has no trouble presenting himself through his public name. And a casino experience according to you.
with poker at the core
Actually the core was Big Two, which makes far more sense than Poker as you’re not limited to 2 cards and can play multiple hands.

You can gamble on horse racing too, would you also ban children from watching horse races? Without going into the specific ethics of horse racing its self and just should children be allowed to watch if adults can.

Wait, wait, wait. Are you telling me Uno is literally just crazy eights, and that’s why I’ve never seen anyone play crazy eights after like 1993?
Yeah. Same game, reskinned cards and sold at a much higher price and can’t really play anything else with them. Then over time they add other gimmicks like some ewaste that throws cards on the floor for you and makes the game cost 30 times as much as a pack of cards.
Calm down. Uno doesn’t resemble gambling. Balatro is gambling coded through and through. The whole PR stunt they pulled is clever:
“We totally don’t want anyone gambling. Here is a game based on poker that also involved some luck”.

By having literally no gambling?

That’s just bullshit. In fact it’s so bullshit the dev has publicly opposed gambling.
Higher up view says you’re just peddling stupid conspiracy that has little to no basis in reality.

What about football?
Can’t tell if you are just a bad troll or have honestly never played the game and don’t know what you are talking about.
Judging by the profile, he’s a low tier troll.
