Watch the end result be you can’t find random chests in Minecraft dungeons or Terraria caves cause it falls under the category of “lootbox” in games…
(May seem hyperbolic, but we are talking about 70 year old boomers trying to make regulations for video games. I’m not sure I have the most positive view of the potential outcome)
Uno can be gambling too if you start to bet on round. Anything can be gambling if you want it to but poker with non convertible tokens isn’t gambling. Betting on players also would be gambling. Anything can become gambling. If you think that’s an overstatement look at predictive markets to see how broad bettable events can be, it’s amazing scary.
AND there is a distribution of the content (namely some rare and non rare items)
then the purchase of that deck itself is gambling.
That does not imply anything about other situations, namely decks that are all the same can still be used for gambling when there are played with rules that do introduce randomness. A single coin for example can be used to bet.

Money, gambling is (even if obfuscated via tokens) about money.
Monopoly is not gambling because there is no (real) money involved. Uno is not gambling because there is no money involved.
Uno is not gambling because all decks are the same. There is no artificial scarcity to monetize, it’s literally just a game and that’s good.
What about poker?

amazingscary.So it’s not about all decks being the same.
What I tried to express is that when decks are

uh, on one side of my family my 70 year old boomers were helping Ken and Dennis write UNIX. I listen when they talk.
What about the other side?
