What about Vampire Survivors, as well as numerous other games, using spinners or other slot-machine-like animations to represent RPG drops? Should all of these games be banned for the same reason? If anything, many of these better re-create the slot machine experience with their flashy effects and more substantial results.
In Super Mario Bros 2 you use a slot machine to get extra lives at the end of each level - I hope they've banned that game too.
I'm not exactly up to date on mobile games...
But if their primary gameplay is a slot machine simulator, then yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if they're also banned.
Although people who play a lot of mobile games would explain the type of replies I'm getting. So it probably wasn't intentional, but you did help, thanks!
These aren't mobile games, they're desktop games, and this isn't anything new. These same themes and effects have been used for decades. As someone else points out, even the retro Mario games have you use spinners and slot machines. RNG is exciting and helps make a fun and engaging game. I mean, by that same logic, a game like Catan should be banned because one of its primary mechanics is just being rewarded for favorable dice rolls, as you would be when gambling on dice.
There is a metric fuckton of slot machine games on the playstore. This game, which isn't gambling, is being limited while other slot machine games aren't.
It would be different if the policy was applied equally to other apps as well.

You've been told multiple times it is not.
LbaL is also on Steam btw, I played it there a few years ago
