Is this really that hard to comprehend? It's a slight twist on a ticket based arcade game or a slot machine. It's pretty common knowledge that they are a waste of money.

The concept of having a slot machine in my pocket sets off so many mental alarm bells that it’s incomprehensible to me that people would gamble on what looks like Bejeweled.

I’m not saying it’s good. But it hardly seems beyond comprehension.

Sharks on mobile non-gambling games can easily spend over $500 a month on a game.

That's the "buy an energy refill to chop more wood!" sort of games.

Now imagine if you pretend it's a competition. You can "beat the machine", as these games are dressed up. And you can wager on them.

Every casino in Vegas has lifers burning their cash. Now you spread that to over a billion devices with no gambling commission.
