(actual life-ruining gambling is okay though, as long as you give the slot machine a thematic paint job)

According to PEGI, Sonic 2 should be rated 18+ because of simulated gambling.

Solitaire too. The entire game is based on cards' relative values and matching suits. A player might recognise the connection to other games where a French deck is typically used and use that knowledge to learn several hands used in games of chance. Extremely dangerous, I'm sure you'll agree.

Isn’t that why they stopped adding it in the new games, to avoid a higher rating?

[-] Dagnet@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

AFAIK, yes. But could be other reasons too, I havent played the newer ones but I heard they made them even more focused on kids, could be that too

They actually already did change the rating for the virtual console release of Red/Blue. I always thought it was stupid, because the game corner was explicitly run by the bad guys.
