The current director of the mobile gaming area of<strong> Nifty Games<\/strong> thinks that not knowing the contents of the packages causes gamers a feeling of positive uncertainty and this pushes them to open dozens of them consecutively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&#8220;People loved it,&#8221; <\/em>he says<em>. &#8220;I think that sense of uncertainty and &#8216;What are you going to get?&#8217; and then bang, Ronaldo or Messi would roll out and that&#8217;s a wonderful thing.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&#8220;This is a personal view, but the concept of surprise and delight vs gambling&#8230; on a continuum, they&#8217;re a long way from each other. You buy or grind your way up to getting a gold pack, you open it up, and you&#8217;re either happy or you think it&#8217;s a crappy pack. I don&#8217;t see that as gambling, but again, this is my personal view as an outsider right now.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What do you think about it?
