Gambling is great. I think we should introduce all of our kids to gambling. It’s a great game mechanic that teaches probability and risk assessment, as well as life lessons about ego, bravado, and humility. It’s unfortunate that “gambling” in popular discourse today is the perverted and commodified version created by casinos. Modern gambling is optimized for profit and bereft of the intellectual challenge and soul-enriching experiences that gambling could offer.
Great article. My love for gambling goes back to the Oregon trail and my father’s love of simulation games that taught me consequences. (Simfarm, simtower, Theme park). To fill that need now I play Rimworld.

You gotta check out Balatro! In a nutshell, roguelike poker. It really brought out the degenerate gambler in me.
Gold stake before the balance update! Haha. When that comes out for mobile, my productivity will certainly decline.
