The legal theory you’ve proposed doesn’t match the facts. My understanding of your theory:

1. US law doesn’t say adult gambling is illegal

2 US law does make it illegal to give gambling mechanics to minors

Since random card is only for adults, it’s legal. Since balatro gives gambling mechanics to minors, it’s illegal.

But Random Card _isn’t_ only for adults! It’s E for everyone (ie no age restriction!) By your own reasoning, random card should have been banned. This isn’t an issue of consistency anymore, since according to your theory this should be illegal.

I think either your theory of how the law applies here is incorrect, or Google seems to be breaking the law by allowing random card to persist.
