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.

#152This 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

#154This is fun, but the game doesn't seem to accept that a pair of aces is a winning result. Aces specifically, other face cards work as intended.

#155Ended 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.

#156Ran it up to $190 in 15 minutes. Are you trying to make me a gambling addict? PS: Now down to $100.

#157AH, 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.

#158This 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.

#159Nice! Although most video pokers allow you to gamble your winnings so you can double up (up to 10 times) or lose it.

#160The CRT looks really good. Definitely a good reproduction of classic video poker.
