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

Aces low?

I love this! It's just perfect, thanks.

It makes me think about Lemmy from Motorhead and the stories of him playing video poker in the Rainbow Bar and Grill, LA.

Apparently they moved the machine to his home for his final days.

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 allowed me, a terrible artist, to program my game quickly and add a lot of visual flair -- dealing the cards, the dealer checking for blackjack, chips sliding, the bouncy result status, etc.

I think it found an infinity money gltich. I held a 2 of hearts and a 3 of clubs on the far left and far right and it glitched out and did not give me 3 cards. Instead it gave me 3 black boxes, a royal flush and says I won "$"aHROcHM6Ly".... Now my cash keeps counting up, it is at over $2,000 now.

I hear Cabo is nice this time of year.

Any way for me to listen to all the different jingles? I've been able to hear all the jingles through 4 of a kind, but I have no hope of hearing the straight flush/royal flush jingles without cheating somehow.

Looks like you exported your project in debug mode, you probably want to export in release mode.

This looks great. Audio's left-speaker only? Might be a problem on my end.

I will learn video poker, and get good at this. I wouldn't mind an option to disable the CRT simulation, but it's outstanding anyway.

Thanks for sharing! This is really well done.

I was wondering if you would be willing to put the source code for this on GitHub? I've been meaning to learn Godot for a while for a simple 2D RPG and I'd love to see how you did things here.
