      So it’s literally a slot machine simulator…

      And the guy who made it doesn’t understand why it’s being taken down for gambling?

          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.

          I don’t know what’s hard to understand
