THE HOUSE ALWAYS WINS.

You are a registered member on an illegal gambling website, SINNERS-WHEEL.net, and you just found out that several founders of Sinners Wheel have been arrested for hosting the site through your best friend, Jay. Jay also informs you that the remaining founders have decided to abandon ship, and recently announced that the website will be permanently shut down at 12 AM the next morning. The issue is that it's currently 11 PM, meaning you have just 1 hour (15 minutes real time) to make as much money as you can without getting caught by the police or going into debt. How far will you test your luck?

Overview:

Sinners Wheel is a short, unsettling gambling game with 3 endings, made in 1 week for the very serious Juniper Dev game jam. The goal is simple: make as much money as you can from the wheel while avoiding going into debt and dodging the police. The core game only lasts a total of 15 minutes real time, or 1 hour in-game time. This means it will take the average player 20-30 minutes to see all of the content.

(Inspired by: Welcome to the Game 2, Dead Signal, and CloverPit).

Controls:
