“ Last night, I woke up at around 3 AM, still thinking about Kaiji.
The tension in that anime lingers long after it ends.
One thing I recently discovered is that the creator used
real behavioral tactics to make the gambling in Kaiji
feel brutally authentic. That just makes me respect the anime even more.
Too wired to sleep, so I found this deep-dive blog post that talked about how
Kaiji’s games work in real life. Seriously, if you’re into anime or gambling, you need to read it
too.
Still buzzing from it all, I fired up my regular slot site and gave it a shot.
I picked Book of Ra—no idea why.
You’re not going to believe this—I scored a
grand. Blew my mind. What I really like about Book of Ra is how those
bonus rounds come out of nowhere and flip everything.
So now I’m wondering... was that just luck?
Or was that destiny?
Anyone else ever feel something similar?. ”
