The visuals are perfect, looks very much like a CRT...nicely done.

I think I found a bug though...pair of Aces doesn't pay as "Jacks or Better": https://imgur.com/a/78B3oPV

Indeed, I encountered the same. Rock solid otherwise, so far!

Something at the end (bankruptcy) besides just locking up (other than the mute button) would be a nice touch.

Aces are the low card in the game. You are not the first person to say this! I need to look at the math again to make them high cards...

However in my opinion (at risk of getting everyones ire) - I think the ace is the "1" card.

    Ace needs to act like 14 for Jacks or higher purposes, and both 1 and 14 for straights.

    Very cool and nostalgic app. I remember playing this for hours on my great-uncle's little pocket game.

    ... That's not how poker works though. I haven't had the luck to reproduce it, but is 10-J-Q-K-A also not recognized as a straight?

    So if aces are considered "1", how do you think a Royal Flush works? It wraps back around to 1?

    After it's fixed you can add an option for "around the corner" straights, which count an ace both ways and wrap. For example: Q-K-A-2-3

    Except that poker is an established game with clear rules where the ace is the highest card?

I imagine it would be disorienting to actually play this on a CRT.

Honestly, I've never seen a CRT fisheye as bad as someone aping the aesthetic.

I also have a similar rant about VHS video filters.
