PEGI is a pissing joke.

(actual life-ruining gambling is okay though, as long as you give the slot machine a thematic paint job)
They already requested to re-review it and got shut down. All my homies hate PEGI and their bs.
Lazy ass PEGI. You’d think they would employ people to actually play the games instead of half-assing it.
The ESRB isn't any better either. They rate games based on a few minutes of footage (IIRC 8 minutes minimum) of what the publisher considers to be the worst offending elements.
That isn’t even enough to get context in an every day conversation, let alone an entire video game.
I could easily showcase the worst examples of real gambling in modern games in eight minutes (except maybe Diablo Immortal because the microtransaction hell they've created is actually impressive). The problem is that publishers get to select what parts of the game is presented to the board, so they can simply not include the real gambling parts.
