“ A few hours ago, I randomly got up at around 3 AM, still thinking about the
anime Kaiji. The tension in that anime lingers long after it ends.
One thing I recently discovered is that many of the games in Kaiji reflect real-life underground gambling strategies.
No wonder it feels so real.
I couldn’t go back to sleep, so I found this deep-dive
blog post that talked about how Kaiji’s games work in real life.
Trust me, it’s worth checking out if Kaiji hooked you like it did me.
With my brain still spinning, I logged into my go-to casino app and played a few rounds.
I picked Book of Ra—it just felt right in that moment.
Believe it or not—I hit a $1,000 win. Totally unexpected.
What I love about Book of Ra is how those bonus rounds come out
of nowhere and flip everything.
I keep asking myself... was it random, or something more?
Or was that destiny?
Anyone else ever feel something similar?. ”
