My luck isn’t the best, July 4, 2025

This is pretty interesting. A blackjack game written in parser. Well, I did a review for Grand Casino of Fortune a while back, so this isn’t exactly the first time I’m trying out a gambling game IF. Still, it was good for a bit of entertainment.

I’m not really good at blackjack, and I think I lost much more than I won. (I’m not sure how the code looks like behind the scenes, but I’m also pretty crappy at gambling.) The UNDO command doesn’t work here, just in case you were getting ideas. I’m not sure if winning a certain amount of money will trigger something, but I wasn’t quite good enough to find out. I lost plenty though. Still, it was entertaining for a bit.
