>it's different because it's in a videogame
That's not a very good excuse to make it any different.
And also videgames have presented gambling as merely a minigame. And those where changed later because of fears of gambling. But NOW it's totes ok and somehow isn't defined as gambling. I can't help but feel this divide only allows for incredibly uneven distribution of laws in the west vs japan which easily identifies gamblng as gambling reguardless of "how it's presented".
