Tweaks to reduce player edge


Made three updates to the gambling system to narrow the player's edge:

-Replaced the D20 with a D2

-The line is now set by rolling a D8 and adding 5 to the value

-You must roll at least two dice each round


In my initial testing, I found that this seems to bring the matchup much closer to even. The player still seems to have an edge, but it is nowhere near the overwhelming advantage they had in the initial build. Also worth noting is that, in the final build, rolling "Snake Eyes" will effectively count as a double-loss, since you will have to pay our double your original wager (or double-win, if the dealer rolls it). Thus, avoiding Snake Eyes should be a pretty high priority when making decisions on which die to roll, especially if you have already rolled a 1.


Let me know what you think! And hopefully more features coming soon. Next priority for development is the wager system.
