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

Indeed, I encountered the same. Rock solid otherwise, so far! Something at the end (bankruptcy) besides just locking up (other than the mute button) would be a nice touch.

Yes. I've got plans for this - sign up for free credits. lol :-)

This is amazing work, well done! I haven't seen such a great CRT effect but I would love to see that kind of effect available as something you could overlay on old retro arcade games.

This is available! Check out retroarch (or retropie if you have a pi 3 or 4 laying around) - it’s pretty great! Lots of shaders to choose from but pi-crt has a similar look to this and performs well

Awesome thx!

AH, memories. Card faces are from real machine - Novomatic American Poker 2 - back in time did lot of hacks on this platform. Even wrote a emulator in x86 assembly to speedup the development. This Godot game is quite good to recreate the atmosphere of the ancient video poker machine. Lacks only cards autohold and sound could be a bit more polished, but these are minor things that could be easily improved.

Thank you! Yes, I wondered about auto-hold but in the end decided that it was a bit more engaging and fun not to do that...

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.

I'll look into the audio. Might also be an idea to disable CRT effect... thanks for your feedback :-)
