Addicted? I'm not addicted. I've been gambling for 20 years. The shaking is due to the excitement of getting to gamble more. (buy the game, its good)

Nov. 2024

I intentionally avoided this game because: 1.) I never cared to play/understand poker. 2.) I don't like gambling. Everything I heard about this game made me want to play it less. I was wrong. This game is simple, elegant, addictive, endlessly replayable, and barely has anything to do with actual poker. It's a simple game where you do the following: 1.) Play card hands to increase your score. Beat a level's specific score to win the level and earn money. (The game lists the card hands you can play in a menu that you can reference any time.) 2.) Spend winnings on upgrades and new cards which make winning future levels easier. That's it. Once it clicks, this game becomes as quintessential as Tetris. From a person who was initially skeptical about playing Balatro, I highly recommend it.

This game is actually addictive. I know that term gets thrown around a lot, but have you ever seen those videos of old people just wasting away their lives at a slot machine in a casino? That's me. That's me playing Balatro.

The question that I hear everyone asking: Balatro or Crack? Let's break it down. Crack: Short term high, with heightened feeling of euphoria and confidence. Increased heart rate and blood pressure Disturbed Sleep/insomnia Nausea Sexual Dysfunction Extreme addiction Loss of interest in friends, family and social activities. Balatro: Short term high, with heightened feeling of euphoria and confidence. Increased heart rate and blood pressure Disturbed Sleep/insomnia Nausea Sexual Dysfunction Extreme addiction Loss of interest in friends, family and social activities. The answer: The only way you can improve your Balatro experience is to consume CRACK. The two go hand in hand and are really the only two things you will ever need for the rest of your life. I have been sat here for the past 37 hours straight playing this game. I haven't slept. I haven't eaten. I haven't even blinked. Yet, I have no desire to stop whatsoever. "Just 1 more run" I say, as the clock ticks over to 5:34 AM. Balatro is life. I love Balatro. Whenever I look away, I see jokers all around me. They make me feel safe. I take off my headphones, yet I still hear the blissful, soothing melodies of Balatro. I love Balatro. Balatro. Balatro. Balatro. Balatro. Balatro. Balatro. Balatro. Bala Bala Bala Ball Ba BA bBbbbbb Balatro. Conclusion: Buy Balatro.
