Shouldn’t you be sitting in your own waste in front of a slot machine? Hurry along. The pot is getting hot! Just one more round!

I can type with one hand and pull a lever with the other, thank you.
But really quick, explain how balatro is gambling for the idiots among us

Poker is a gambling game. Balatro is loosely based on poker. Throw in some additional luck/randomness and change the money aspect to points. Gambling and addiction in general are devastating.
It would be interesting to compare brain activity of a gambling addict at the casino with a dedicated balatro player. I have my suspicions about what we would see.

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.

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.

Actually, can you explain to me how balatro is not gambling or encouraging gambling?

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

Its incredibly simple, no money changes hands.
