    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.

        If it teaches gambling

        By having literally no gambling?

        and has slot machine makeup,

        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.

        This same Dev is promoting several other games such as “slot machine deck builder” and “blackjack deck builder”.

        That’s just bullshit. In fact it’s so bullshit the dev has publicly opposed gambling.

        Please look at this from higher up. Something slimy is afoot.

        Higher up view says you’re just peddling stupid conspiracy that has little to no basis in reality.

        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.

        What about football?
