The outtakes from that live-action Balatro trailer are unhinged
Published: January 01, 0001
OK, so just up there, the really weird Balatro Friends of Jimbo (Pack 3) reveal trailer? Yeah, there's a weirder version of that. Well, there's outtakes from that, the video where publisher Playstack apparently paid relatively famous voice actor Ben Starr to be a silly clown. Which is to say that the voice actor of Clive from Final Fantasy 16 and Prometheus from Hades 2 is uh, you know, a goofy clown.

This trailer is just of the trailers for Balatro's smorgasbord of crossovers with other games, its "Friends of Jimbo" patches that have introduced yet more little pixel representations of pixel people to go on cards to score points with. This one's a (free) pack of crossovers with Divinity Original Sin 2, Shovel Knight, Potion Craft, Enter the Gungeon, Cult of the Lamb, Don't Starve, 1000xRESIST, and Warframe.
The [[link]] first Friends of Jimbo pack released , bringing along all manner of little weird guys like an Among Us astronaut and Geralt, from The Witcher. The second Friends of Jimbo came , adding crossovers like Stardew Valley, Cyberpunk 2077, and Slay the Spire.
None [[link]] of those, however, had a live-action trailer like the one for this last Friends of Jimbo pack. "I have a of of fucking friends," says Jimbo, as portrayed by Ben Starr.
Poker-themed deckbuilder Balatro is the game that caused PC Gamer to proclaim, this year, that . Which is something the rest of the year bore out, as Balatro continued to sell—breaching 3.5 million copies sold and even going to —proving that its infectious sense of humor and strange little soundtrack belong in gaming history books. You should probably go play it now. I know I'm going to.

Some games take a while to load on mobile, but once they start, the gameplay is smooth and exciting. I hope future updates improve mobile performance, but I still enjoy playing several hours a day.
Some games are a bit laggy on my phone at times, but the variety of games and the smooth desktop experience make up for it. Overall, the website offers a great gaming experience for both casual and serious players.
I wish there were more free spins available, but even with the current promotions, I have a lot of fun. The themed slot games are creative and engaging, keeping the gameplay fresh and entertaining every day.
