This one was clever! I was able to make the house lose $1131! Good work!

really liked it, but the bust sound hurt a little in my ears. And you maybe could make the display for sneak risk a little clearer, for example with percentages.

Fun concept and who doesn't like to stick it to the house.

This was pretty fun, and I loved the idea of having sneak deals! And a great way to fit the theme! If I had one suggestion, it might just be to at the table rules to the table (dealer stand 17, blackjack 3:2, etc), otherwise a pretty neat game!

Pretty nice game. Simplistic, but a great take on the theme

Great idea and interesting mechanics. The hard part is getting the players  to stay by getting to a high enough number that they won’t hit. My high score is -$1058 !

Unique concept, clean visuals, nice music, satisfying sound effects. Nothing like having a face card when you're at 11 for a quick finish. Very well made!

i love gambling

Great idea! This is what happens when I attempt to gamble!

This was actually pretty fun. It was it a bit confusing at first (and the visual are a bit lackluster) but I really got into it. Good job.
