Then you'll just have people invent more smoke to hide the fact it's gambling. Trading card games are a good example. The game is, to a limit, one of skill, but you are gated by the cards you open in your scratch off ticke- I mean pack.
- Al-Khwarizmi 5y agoPlenty of people have fun playing trading card games by just making the best of the cards they get and, of course, trading. Most people I know who play or played them (including myself) were like that. Of course, you can get obsessed with getting the best cards and end up wasting unhealthy amounts of money, but it's not the most common behavior. While I see the point that those games can be seen as having a gambling component, I don't think it's fair to group them together with pure gambling where there is no or almost no motivation to the game other than the possibility of winning a prize, like slot machines, roulette, or the game in this article.
