The visuals are perfect, looks very much like a CRT...nicely done. I think I found a bug though...pair of Aces doesn't pay as "Jacks or Better": https://imgur.com/a/78B3oPV

Honestly, I've never seen a CRT fisheye as bad as someone aping the aesthetic.

I also have a similar rant about VHS video filters.

Besides fixing the low Ace value, I would suggest allowing the player to use the keyboard play.

It looks like the space bar does trigger a deal. Perhaps 1-2-3-4-5 selects and deselects cards and plus/minus allows the bet to increase or decrease.

There are alternatives to Godot, in particular I'll mention ZimJS https://zimjs.com/about.html#features Like you, I recently created an online casino game, Cheat at Blackjack https://play.cheatatbj.com/ and used ZimJS for all of the animation. I considered Godot but found it simpler to do everything in client-side JS. Zim's web site is definitely a bit "out there" but the animation features are quite good and it allo…

Fun game, but I might have encountered a bug. I played fair and were allowed to split 3 times. This made the UI crash after I won so that I couldn't continue. The buttons "repeat bets" and "collect" wouldn't show anymore: https://imgur.com/TcpHzT5 Checked the console, not sure if this caused the error, but here's an error trace: https://imgur.com/g75OXgJ

Thanks for the info, and for trying the game. I think the game saw you splitting 10s, realized how irrational that was, and that's what crashed it :)

Very simple, very good. I love the CRT effect. And being able to immediately play in the browser like this, even from mobile, is amazing.

Also serves as a stark reminder of why video pokers are a bad idea, as I immediately lost everything, then proceeded to do so 5 more times.

Ended on a hand of: K J A A Q and did not receive the Jacks or Better $1 payout. According to a brief search about the rules of video poker, a pair of aces is considered better than a pair of jacks.

Aces low ;-)

That is a bug :)
