This reminds me a lot of the The Henry Stickmin collection of games which triggers me quite some nostalgic feelings :D
Although, being a fan of Henry Stickmin, I would suggest more frames, faster animation and try to build as more scenarios as possible as, currently, the game only provides three possible endings, and only one good ending!
Also, the gambling theme works in terms of choices (one leads to failing, while the other wins to winning), but I would say it still doesn't have the gambling theme fully in it :D
