(actual life-ruining gambling is okay though, as long as you give the slot machine a thematic paint job)

The I in PEGI stands for Information, for many they inform the game includes warning that the game has gambling. If the EU doesn’t have adequate laws prohibiting or limiting underage gambling PEGI doesn’t have the authority to overrule.
There's no gambling in the game. Not with real money, nor with fake money. They labeled it 18+ for "looking like" gambling.
Using the same logic, solitaire should be 18+.
I actually asked someone if by this same logic playing cards should be considered "gambling materials" and they said yes. So even though it's absurd I think there are a good amount of brainwashed or stupid people who believe it.
