      I thought you were joking about the recent kerfuffle, but no, you’re really this stupid.

              It’s a strategy game with almost zero luck involved. It doesnt scratch the gambling part in the brain at all.

              It’s all about multipliers and making numbers big, which is satisfying. You don’t put any currency in it, not even virtual.

              All you can win is a “You Won”

              You’re doing runs and don’t expect anything in return but having a good and fun time. A time that cost you about the power your device draws.

              Edit: Ive played a lot of Poker in the past. Balatro doesnt make me think about playing poker at all.

              Chess is a war game. Killing and violence in general are devastating. It’d be interesting to compare the brain activity of a murderer with a grandmaster player. I have my suspicions about what we would see.

                  Have you played the game because it really sounds like you haven’t. It sounds like you’ve just seen pictures and made an assumption

                  There is no gambling mechanic, other than matching poker suits there aren’t really any poker mechanics, there are no other players.

              Poker is a gambling game.

              False. It is a card game, sometimes people gamble over card games and poker is a common one. You can gamble over yahtzee if you wanted to.
