    Nice job. I noticed that the sound effects are only playing out of my left speaker though.

      Thanks for pointing out the audio problem... I just fixed it. I've only got a single Ikea speaker on my desk, reminds me I should get another one of these days! Cheers!

        Sure! The interlacing CRT effect is a nice touch BTW. I held off touching Godot for a long time because I had heard that its WASM/WebGL/etc. support could be a bit spotty but your game looks great so I'm thinking I should give it another shot!

          If you're targeting WASM etc., I would personally stick with 3.5 for the moment - it's rock solid. I've tried porting to 4 a few times and it's flaky; notably with increased build size, and other issues I don't recall right now.

    Wow, this is impressive, everything is so realistic, it feels like I'm not in a browser but in a dark room with a PC where this game is running, I really liked it, it looks very nostalgic.

    FWLIW: as an native-born Las Vegan, i approve! :-D

    This brings back some early-1990s nostalgia.

      I'm so glad you approve! Recently I was reading "The Doctrine of Chances" by Steward Ethier that RTP is actually 99.54% if you follow the strategy in the book - which likely explains why Jacks or Better is apparently rare on the floor these days... but I wonder - is it rare in Vegas?

        > but I wonder - is it rare in Vegas?

        If you're asking me, i can't say: we left Vegas in 1982 and i've not been there since 1997. If not aimed specifically at me... i also can't say. Either way, can't say.
