It doesn't really teach you how to play poker or gamble though. You don't bet anything, and sure you might learn what a 'flush' is but it usually doesn't contain a '4-of-a-kind' at the same time.

Yeah lol learning poker hands is all it does, which is trivial. The hard part of gambling is learning odds and how to bet. There is a little bit of odds calculation in the game, but it’s incredibly unrealistic with all the modifiers, and they change on each run.
