Balatro dev: Talked with PEGI and they do not see anything wrong Balatro being rated 18+, nor with EA sports FC (and similar games) having a 3+ rating (x.com)

As the game goes on, the poker hands also get increasingly unrealistic and different from real poker including things like five of a kind, and a pair being worth more than a royal flush.

If you tried to take the skills you learn from balatro to a poker table you would get kicked out basically immediately.

I place a torn up joker on the table, a tarot card, a llanowar elf card, and a pair of threes

I've never gambled, but I'm pretty sure if I got 1.630e11 chips at a casino, something bad would happen to me, the casino, and the economy if I cashed it out. I think that's 84 billion chips....

It's 163 Billion chips.

1.630e11 is the same as 1.630 x 10^11

Which probably wouldn't be that bad for the economy, but it might bankrupt the casino, depending on the value of the chips.
