But how has this seemingly innocent game grown so“ profitable”? Well, the answer actually lies on how the gameplay works. You’ re basically rolling dice after dice after dice, tempting you to get more at some point, either due to a race you want to win or just an event that you CAN’ T miss. Some people, therefore, choose to spend“ little” amounts of money on the games’ offers, which add up to huge amounts of revenue. It is basically GAMBLING. However, you’ re not gaining any IRL income and just losing money if being a complete addict, being a bad influence for people without self-control. Overall, however, the huge BOOM of the game is justified, taking an already nostalgic board game and making it into an addictive, easy-toplay slot game in which your own priority is just individual growth, as you’ re playing ALONE.
