Family Gambling is a first person, retro inspired narrative resource management game where your son's organs are just another casino currency. You are a widowed father, an unemployed surgeon, and a gambling addict on the verge of eviction. Buried under debt and hunted by dangerous loan sharks, your only chance to survive is a casino where chips can be bought with money and something else... Earn enough money to pay your rent, utility bills, food, medicine, and eventually repay your debt before time runs out. Every bet may bring you closer to freedom or destroy the only family you have left.
SURVIVE ONE DAY AT A TIME
Every night you'll enter the casino to earn chips by playing a variety of casino inspired games, including Roulette, Blackjack, Poker, Dice, Slots, Rocket and more.
Extract organs from your son to keep gambling. Every sacrifice worsens his condition, making him more vulnerable to hunger, thirst, illness, and death.
During the day you'll return home to deal with the consequences of your decisions. Buy food and water, pay your bills, purchase medicine, repair your home, and do everything you can to keep your son alive until another night at the casino.
Need better odds?
Many casino games allow you to cheat in unique ways but if security catches you, you'll lose your chance to gamble for the rest of the day. Later, you'll gain access to the exclusive VIP casino, where higher stakes promise greater rewards... and cheating is punished with death.

HOW MUCH OF YOUR SON ARE YOU WILLING TO BET?
Every decision carries consequences.
The more you rely on your son's body to survive, the more fragile his life becomes. Choosing the easy way out may keep the bills paid today, but every missing piece brings your family closer to tragedy.
Surviving without making sacrifices demands careful planning, skill, and luck.
The casino always wants something in return. The question is: what are you willing to give?
