While it's advertised as "Free" to play, it isn't, you must buy an in game currency, chips or whatever, to continue playing after you inevitably lose... after all, odds are in the houses favour (and the houses bots). The developer claims it's not gambling because you can't cash out, so all the money they try to coerce you into buying "chips" with is gone for good. I don't see how that's better or worse than just going to a casino. I'm at a loss for words at how such an evil, unethical system as organised online gambling could jam its foot into the door here on Steam, at a time when loot boxes and other anti-gamer, predatory exploitation systems are being investigated by governments around the world. There's plenty of accusations of unethical fixing of the odds here, and while they're not substantiated, I find it difficult to believe these people peddling gambling and trying to inflict this on the innocent population of Steam gamers on PC are bastions of honesty and integrity. So if you think sending thousands of dollars to these people for virtual chips you can gamble away is a good idea, maybe give that some introspection before buying any of the chips they constantly spam you with offers to buy in this advertising riddled mobile app like casino. Pretending for a moment this isn't the evil of cancer manifesting itself on Steam with the intention of exploiting and entrapping PC gamers into gambling and debt, it's got all the same qualities as a mobile/browser game ported to PC, with locked resolution and poor quality 2D visuals, so it doesn't meet the standards for a PC game. But I'm pretty sure that being cancer personified is really more than enough reason to disqualify this one.
