Virtual Boy Casino

I made a VB game of casino games a long time ago. It wasn't spectacular, but it worked. I ran across it while I was going through my old files on my computer. The code to get random numbers was really wonky, so I decided to fix it. The random numbers seem more random, but I just can't seem to avoid doing bad in video poker, even though the numbers of the cads are more random than they were.

I discovered a problem with Blackjack that I think I have fixed yesterday. Then I took a nap. The nap turned out to be longer than I anticipated and woke up around midnight. I took my evening pill and tried to go back to sleep, but to no avail. Oh well.

I changed the background of the game menu. Whether or not it looks better is IMO up for debate.

You can get and try the rom out on the offical chris's casino webpage.

Here's an early version screenshot of a younger title screen.

Of course this was back when it only had 2 games instead of 4. If I were to go with the second one, I'd have to add a picture of a slot machine. I'm torn, which do you like better?

It's a tough call.  I like #1 best, but if #2 has 3D cards and it there's a tilt to the roulette wheel, then #2 is probably the best. (I don't have a VB, much less a ROM cart, so I can't try this one out.)

I like 2 best, but I think on am actual machine 1 would likely look better, with 2 looking a bit empty.

When making something possessive, if it ends in an S you don't need to add another S, you just do an apostrophe.

Example: Chris' Casino.

Unless you're being funny, then you nailed it.

I like #1 truthfully as long as you clear out the background behind the text so it is easier to read

my preference would be for layout #1, but with the inverted colors of #2.

seconded.

You don't NEED to add an S but it isn't wrong to.

Chicago, APA, and MLA all recommend adding apostrophe-s. So it's fine just the way you have it.

The first looks harder to read, but I'll have to try it out on a real VB to see for sure.
