Adding a Slot Machine to an app to give users chance to win a certain feature to use – would it be considered gambling? Asking for a friend...

P.S.: Selling in-app tokens to play this fake Slot Machine, I imagine, would for sure be considered gambling, eh?

@ramzesenok I've definitely seen games where you can spin a wheel to get something unlocked. But you didn't pay for a spin. It was something like you can check back every x hours.
Mus have been games from Gameloft after they migrated to freemium.

@jandamm you’re right, I think I do remember something like this too! Thanks

@ramzesenok wait, if I remember correctly you were able to reduce the waiting time (open now) by using gems (which were paid with real money)...
So it was basically gambling. They were using a trove but it's basically the same.
But as we all know Apple treats all developers equal and big developers "more equal"

@jandamm true😄 but I don’t feel like “spin now for gems” is gambling. This way spinning is kinda free but waiting isn’t
