No because that's not killing anyone.
But a slot machine simulator is still gambling even if it doesn't really pay out.
So a slot machine simulator getting banned in countries that ban gambling makes perfect sense.
But the creator apparently thinks it's because those countries just love capitalism so much...
I don't know what's hard to understand
What about Vampire Survivors, as well as numerous other games, using spinners or other slot-machine-like animations to represent RPG drops? Should all of these games be banned for the same reason? If anything, many of these better re-create the slot machine experience with their flashy effects and more substantial results.
I'm not exactly up to date on mobile games...
But if their primary gameplay is a slot machine simulator, then yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if they're also banned.
Although people who play a lot of mobile games would explain the type of replies I'm getting. So it probably wasn't intentional, but you did help, thanks!
