Manipulate a blackjack game from the inside as a dealer subroutine in this minimalist roguelike deckbuilder. Read the visible card's queue, execute illegal code exploits to alter the upcoming cards, and fleece high-rolling patrons before the system anti-cheat detects your anomaly.
You are DEALER.exe, a rogue subroutine inside SYSTEM 21, the casino's proprietary operating system. Your job is to engineer every outcome on the floor: read the upcoming cards in the visible draw queue, deal them in order, and when the math favors the patrons, rewrite reality before anyone notices.
The shoe is an open buffer. Upcoming cards sit in a sequential queue, newest on top. Read ahead and plan accordingly.
Illegal exploits. During the dealer draw, DELETE burns the next card or INVERT swaps the top two. Every intervention raises global suspicion.
Six patron archetypes. Tourists, Regulars, Drunks, By-the-Book, Card Counters, and Whales, each with a wallet, a hype meter, and different betting behavior. Fleece them too fast and they disconnect. Let them win just enough, then extract when wallets are full.
Audit evasion. Exploits, hole-card peeks, and reshuffles feed the detection meter. Suspicion climbs in escalating bands. At 100%, SYS_ADMIN traces the signal and your run terminates.
Seven campaign cycles. Quotas climb, seats fill, spawn tables tighten. One persistent shoe grows from 4 decks to 8. Hit each cycle's extract target before drawdown maxes or the floor empties.
The Compiler shop. Between cycles, spend a slice of winning profit on twelve different plugins that elevate the gameplay to a new level.
Eleven Anomaly Challenge protocols. Unlocked after campaign victory. Single-deck sprints, whale-only floors, DELETE disabled, heat ladders, and others. From Easy to Insane difficulty.
