"Pay mafia <---- Important"
That was funny :-) But the game was a bit dull, like real life, I suppose? Maybe if the slot machine was faster?
By the way, what happened to the game in the screenshots of your journal?

I wanted to reduce everything down to this cycle:
1. You do stuff (work) which is monotonous but also needs reflexes.
2. You spend your money in the casino, where you don't have to do anything but clicking a button and see if you are lucky.
3. If you get lucky, you win. And there's a way to almost "ensure" you will get lucky.
Alternatively you could just work for the debt ^^
That game was "Spacewars". It works quite good, obviously needs some improvement, but was just not really fitting to the theme. So I guess it will end like Danger!, Revolution, Goatz, and all the other unfinished games: Unfinished. ^^
I don't completely know what this has to do with the theme, but somehow it still makes sense. The job section really feels like a job, which is good.
I got the million on my first visit to the casino :D Otherwise, all gameplay parts are rather dull. I guess that was your point, but it still makes the game boring.
This game is a great idea, it does get a bit tedious due to the lack of options, and the wait time on the slots. All in all a decent game :)
WOO YEAH JACKPOT I- ..this isn't real? :(
Seriously though, I liked the idea. Basically a life sim boiled down to it's essential components. ...minus the mafia debt, though your mileage may vary. clicks of the reel got a bit grating after a while, but otherwise simple game, well implemented.
Interesting game. Got a bit slow quickly. Would love work to be 30 seconds and slots to be faster. Fun!
=) while it didn't fit the theme I this is a cool idea and I had fun playing it.
It reminds me of a serious game "Spent".
