Really not a fan of government intervention, but this is getting to be too much. This would seem to be a literal scam.
Text explanation for those who don't want to watch the videos:
The "official" odds show there is a very high chance of getting a purple. A 42% chance to get a purple, to be specific. There are four purples, which would make it look like a 1 in 2 chance, if you land on a purple, that you'll get either the skin or the gun. The money goes up with each spin. The way it actually works is you don't get either the skin or the gun until your 9th or 10th spin, at which point you've spent 250 dollars.
The real issue is that it's literally a rigged game. The requirement that developers "tell people the odds" is being used to manipulate people into thinking they have a very good chance at getting what they want in one or two spins. In reality, this is even worse than before. At least before, people already assumed the odds were stacked against them. This is designed to make it appear like that's not the case.
I'm long past the point of being understanding about this. The government needs to get this garbage out of these games right now.
But they have to publish the odds of you getting things now, so everything is okay, right? Nope.
