Points for the satire of America (you can buy a gun to protect yourself from muggers but if you go to jail you have to pay $100k bail) and the dragon-quest-y world map with 'random encounters with gambling minigame enemies' but this is just a slot machine game at the core. The odds are stacked in your favor but in my half hour with it it still takes forever to build up enough money to reach the next stage (of higher stakes slots lol).

Maybe there's something to be said about how 'grinding slots to reach the next stage of betting amounts' kind of mimics grinding in RPGs

Or more distinctly, the process of tweeting and trying to amass followers. ha ha.. ha..
