The House Always Loses

Made for the 2023 GMTK jam. Theme Role Reversal. Plays on desktop and most mobile browsers.

You are a BlackJack dealer and you hate the house. Use your sneak hits and deals to make sure the house loses.

Make sure the other players win and the house loses. Don't get caught or you'll be fired and beaten.

Goal:

  • Lose as much house money as possible

How to play:

  • Each player will make bets
    • Some players bet more than others
    • Try to make the big betters win
  • You will deal cards to all the players
    • You can use your sneak deal to deal the card shown to the player.
      • Doing this will increase your sneak risk
  • After you deal you will go around the table and the players will either hit or stand
    • Some players have a higher risk tolerance than others
    • When they want to hit you have the option to sneak hit
      • Doing this will increase your sneak risk

About Sneak Risk:

  • The higher the sneak risk meter the higher the probability for a pit boss to catch you, take you out back and beat you.
  • A full bar doesn't mean you are going to get caught, but the risk is high.
