    As the game goes on, the poker hands also get increasingly unrealistic and different from real poker including things like five of a kind, and a pair being worth more than a royal flush.

    If you tried to take the skills you learn from balatro to a poker table you would get kicked out basically immediately.

      I place a torn up joker on the table, a tarot card, a llanowar elf card, and a pair of threes

      “So with my score multiplier basically I own the casino.”

      I’ve never gambled, but I’m pretty sure if I got 1.630e11 chips at a casino, something bad would happen to me, the casino, and the economy if I cashed it out. I think that’s 84 billion chips…

        It’s 163 Billion chips.

        1.630e11 is the same as 1.630 x 10^11

        Which probably wouldn’t be that bad for the economy, but it might bankrupt the casino, depending on the value of the chips.
