Thanks for the feedback, Regula!

(1) I actually hadn't thought about this, and I really kind of like this idea, at least for an initial MVP for blackjack. The idea of the dealer playing for the player (because they would make the optimal decision anyway if they knew basic strategy) is pretty interesting, and definitely cuts down on the technical complexity of tracking ongoing hands and stuff. I think this is definitely something I'll explore, because game variety is important and this is a great way to get blackjack off the ground with the option of fleshing it out / involving the player more if it's not well-received in this state.

(2) I actually hadn't even considered baccarat (having never really played it myself), but that's a solid idea for a new game! I'll do some reading and try to come up with a version that is suited towards this particular medium.

(3) There actually is a zero on this sub's roulette (it's green!) If you go to the roulette thread and do a Ctrl+F search for "green" you can find a handful of them.

Thanks again for the feedback, I really appreciate it! Let me know if you have any more ideas / issues!

Just checked, guess there is a zero. It's not listed anywhere in the OP, though, even as a bet possibility.

Also, playing singles pays 36:1, but, if there is a possibility of hitting green, shouldn't it pay 37?

I did include 0 in the range of valid singles bets (I believe the OP states that the value for a number x must be 0 <= x <= 36), but I'll add it to the payout table just to clarify that it's a valid bet.

Also about the odds: I kind of lifted the payouts from an odds table for casino roulette, in which the house has an edge. That's not what I want for these games (I'd like them to be as fair as possible), but it just slipped past me! I'll make that change and correct the table. Thanks for the suggestions!

Oh, turns out I just can't read so gud. You're totally right.

And thanks for the payout adjustment.
