Gambling games dont have to cheat to be gambling games (most gambling games are fair) and this game is the definition of gambling. In this case theyre trying to build the rush you get from gambling to get you to risk money for the chance of something of almost no value. The gambling rush is adictive and distorts people sence if value. This little game seems to be nintendos first step.

I'm sorry, but no, it's not gambling. Most gambling games are fair, but they're based on luck. Poker involves the luck of the draw, for instance. This isn't based on luck. Performance is 100% within the player's control. Gambling happens when winning and losing isn't entirely within the control of the player.

You seem to have a rather twisted definition of gambling, if you think it's about the rush. And I'm guessing you haven't played it, because there's really not much of a "rush".

Did I say gambling... I meant to say 'worse than gambing' because at least with gambing you have a protential prize of value.

As for my rush comment. I was refering to Nintendo motive, I was not using the word to define gambiling... Or perhaps you don't think people get rushes off gambing and similar risky activity.
