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.

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!).
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!
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.
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!
Got just over 1000 before losing it all. Neat idea. I couldn't hear the sfx. Is that just a webgl issue?
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
I had 8k and lost it all… I’ve lost everything so many times… stay away from gambling guys. Great concept with the theme!
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.
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.
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!
