    I’ve always suspected I might be susceptible to gambling addiction so I stay out of casinos.

    Instead, I go to the arcade. Which is like a low stakes child casino. Win a bunch of tickets and then either buy something stupid with them, or, just straight give them to some kid.

    My point being, we’ve specifically constructed casino-like facilities for children and it’s regularly accepted, so why should Balatro be different?

      There’s a scam to steal money from kids in pretty much every grocery store near where I live. We call them claw machines.

      Gambling at an arcade is exactly the same. All you’ve done is lower the stakes so hopefully it couldn’t affect you.
