Immediately went all in, gambled up to 250$, and then lost it all and got kicked out by the dealer. 10/10 would play again.
Thanks!
I love the vibe, and the camera movements were cool, it feels polished! Playing this confirmed that I should never gamble in my life lol. Great job!
Thanks a lot! Hope you enjoyed!
Nice concept! I really expected multipliers to stack though, i don't think you can win the dealer like this (though that might be the point and a good one!).
Yeah stacking the multipliers would have been another option, though the game is entirely beatable if you give it time. Thanks for the comment!
A nice little gambling experiment. I like the cold mood of it. One time i got the 20x, but then i lost everything being greedy...welp thats the reason i skip the casino! haha
Thanks for the game!
Thank you! Hope you enjoyed!
Great concept executed really well. I enjoyed the dealers comments and loved how it felt like I always made the decision that ultimately caused me to lose.
Thanks a lot! Glad you liked the comments of the dealer!
The deck has too many black cards in it. ;) I never managed to get the x20, but I was also always bad at gambling, haha! I liked the character and the audio, well done!
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
Very fun, I like that the gambling can be in your favor if you get lucky in the first one or two cards. Good job!
Thanks!
Got just over 1000 before losing it all. Neat idea. I couldn't hear the sfx. Is that just a webgl issue?
Thanks for the comment! The sounds are definitly working on my side, they are pretty quiet so you might need to amp up the volume.
I loved it when I got kicked out, I'm definitely not suited for real betting, I'd lose everything. I missed a "play again" feature
Great you enjoyed the game! Yeah real betting can get nasty pretty quick! I'll consider adding the button when I can, thanks for the comment!
This game is brutal. Nice visuals and ambient sounds!
Thanks a lot! The ambient sound is a real Las Vegas casino btw. Tbh listening to it the first time and hearing the peaple yell in the background was pretty funny.
Simple and easy to understand and very fun!
Great to hear! I personally dislike games with too many mechanics, where then you need a whole lot of text based explanation to learn it. Glad you enjoyed it!
Great fun! well done.
Thanks! Much appreciated!
I had 8k and lost it all… I’ve lost everything so many times… stay away from gambling guys. Great concept with the theme!
Thanks a lot! Hope you enjoyed the gamble!
I had to google what inside and outside mean. As someone who doesn't gamble in real life, I did not find any enjoyment in the gameplay, but good job on the 3D scene, and the background sounds are great.
Thanks for the feedback! I updated the description of the game to include a short explanation.
This game is addictive!
Glad you got addicted by it!
It's fun, but I couldn't make it beyond $200 because I only know how to max bet, and this is why I don't gamble irl haha. Nice work!

I love gambling! Personally the only thing I find odd is that in the suite guessing phase the colors for diamonds and clubs on the menu buttons do not match the actual colors. And also maybe it's not immediately clear what inside and outside are supposed to mean. Otherwise pretty cool gameplay loop, addictive and frustrating just like the real thing.
Yeah I noticed the thing with the button too after the jam ended, I might update it but I still would want to keep the game "made in under a week" with all its bugs. Thanks for the comment!
Very addictive game. I like how you set the scene on the title and use the camera to zoom in and start the game, feels really polished. There's no way I'm reaching that goal though, so curious if anything interesting happens if you do... Nice entry!
Yeah spend a lot time polishing the experience, personally I think it makes more sense to have a simple polished game than a very complex but unpolished game. Thanks for the comment!
This game gives me PTSD, true Vegas experience
Yeah the background sound is a real Las Vegas casino!
