It's a strategy game with almost zero luck involved. It doesnt scratch the gambling part in the brain at all.
It's all about multipliers and making numbers big, which is satisfying. You don't put any currency in it, not even virtual.
All you can win is a "You Won"
You're doing runs and don't expect anything in return but having a good and fun time. A time that cost you about the power your device draws.
Edit: Ive played a lot of Poker in the past. Balatro doesnt make me think about playing poker at all.
