Winning is calculated through multiple factors: how many rounds you survive, how often you nearly die, and how often you prevent it.
There is lore behind the game, but no reward. When you die, nothing special happens. When you live, nothing special happens either. You either die or you live.
The game is built around the idea of emptiness. Gambling isn’t exciting, rewarding, or meaningful. Even when you “win" you earn nothing of any value.
The ending is intentionally brutal. Because in real life, gambling rarely gives you anything special in return. No victory either.
