This is because in the body of the View you need to return a view. You can't just perform calculations etc. like in a normal function.

You can remove this code (which doesn't return a View and thus the compilation is failing):

else if gameState == 1 {
    if self.rand() == self.collor {
        self.text = "you won"
        self.data = 1
    }
}

and place it in you button's action:

if gameState == 0 {
    ...
    TextField("a number", text: $sats)
    Button(action: {
        self.intsats = Int(self.sats) ?? 0
        if self.intsats == 0 || self.intsats > self.data {
            self.etext = "not valid number or you do not have enuf mony"
        } else {
            self.gameState = 1
            if self.rand() == self.collor { // <- move it here
                self.text = "you won"
                self.data = 1
            }
        }
    }) {
        Text("bet")
    }
}
