what was the yolo button do.

If you get 3 consecutive losses it gets enabled. Then if you use it, it takes half your credits but gives you the potential for 10x returns on any payline.

I got to 2105 before I called it quits. But I nearly went bust -- I was saved by a triple banana on the second-to-last spin I could afford.

It was simple but strangely compelling. Yolo was a nice touch, although the chance of winning on a given spin was low enough that I was hesitant to use it a lot.

If I could change one thing I would increase the size -- of both the game overall, but especially of the font size of my money. It was small it was in my browser, and I had to use the magnifying glass app to get it to a comfortable size: https://imgur.com/MVpFetb

The feel was good - the sounds were enjoyable, and the wheel spinning looked nice and although it felt slow at first I got used to it and I think that waiting was part of why it felt a bit compulsive after a while.

Nice job!

@kevin-s Thanks Kevin, appreciate the feedback. It was fun just working on a smaller scope compo project. Typically I go way overboard on features and put together something that's half finished. Thanks for playing! @pkenney Amazing comment, when I started building this I modeled the reels after a real famous slot machine called Larry Lobster. Which has two versions a 85% payout and a 92% (I think). Either way the reels were very tuned. Then I just played around with the gamification features, sound, and tweaked the payouts. It was a fun project, but I also got plenty of sleep and family time during this compo which I enjoyed. Thanks for playing!

I am attracted to high quality games that are appreciated by other players. I found the free version of the game, which I play without registration and restrictions, on the review site https://darmowegry-online.pl/40-super-hot/, where the game is based on virtual chips and is great for learning new games. Through it, I gained experience in understanding how special functions work. I really liked her for fun.
