This is a basic but good poker game (although I don't play poker, so take my opinion with a grain of salt).  There's a nice twist where you can bet double or nothing on your token earnings in a bonus round by guessing the color of a face down card, and you can guess as many times as you like before walking with your earnings or losing them with a wrong answer.  Winning, even if you lose your tokens in the bonus game, grants trophies depending on your hand that are used to rank you against other users.  The interface is clean and the graphics are crisp, too, and have potential for expansion into other modes, such as a slot machine. 

I also loved how easy it was to log in or make a new account - just press the login button, and you immediately have a new account with a username you can change once!  The delete account button was also immediately available and obvious, which is a transparency I wish more sites had.  Honestly, other than the potential problem of recovering lost accounts or transferring accounts between devices, the account system was very flexible and admirable.  Great work there!

A few minor quibbles here and there.  Some interface elements are oddly positioned or sized, and there was no sound whatsoever (and sounds feel fairly appropriate for a pseudo-gambling app).  But I guess what I most missed out on was how the game tied in to the jam theme of "a lot of."  I guess gambling does occasionally have large jackpots, but I felt like the connection was just a little tenuous.  Still, that doesn't detract from the fact that there's a lot of things this game does right, and by expanding on the modes that are not yet available, you'd have a nice clean poker app that could be fun to play now and then.  Great work!
