Compete with friends to hit quotas with a set of fun gambling games. Blackjack, Roulette, Duck race, and more!
GambaGamba
Hit the quota before the clock runs out, or lose it all.
GambaGamba is a casino roguelike played in a window inside WoW. You get 5 minutes and a bankroll of play money. Pick from 11 casino games and grow your bankroll to the session quota before time runs out. Make it and the next session starts with a bigger quota. Miss it, or go broke, and the run is over.
🎲 Play money only. GambaGamba never touches your gold, items or anything real. Every dollar in it is made up.
How a run works
- Start Gambling gives you $1,000 and a $1,200 quota with 5:00 on the clock.
- Play any of the 11 games, as many rounds as you like, and switch games between rounds.
- When the quota is met you can end the session right away, or keep playing until the clock runs out to build a bigger bankroll.
- Continue to next session carries your bankroll forward. The new quota is the old one plus 125% of what you earned, so every win raises the bar.
- The run ends when the timer runs out short of the quota, when you can't afford any bet, or when you give up with End session (it asks you to confirm first).
Bet limits that grow with you
Each game has a minimum and maximum bet based on the current quota. For example, Blackjack allows 3%–30% of the quota: $36–$360 at a $1,200 quota. As the quota grows, the limits grow with it, and the bet you typed scales up too.
The games
| Game | How it plays |
|---|---|
| Blackjack | Cards are dealt with the dealer's hole card face down. Hit, Stand or Double. A natural pays 2:1 and beats a dealer natural. |
| Craps | Dice tumble across the table. 7 or 11 pays 2x. Make your point to win 4x. Three misses refund your bet. |
| Roulette | A single-zero wheel spins and the ball drops into a pocket. Bet colours, odd/even, halves, dozens, or a single number for 36x. |
| Money Wheel | A 37-segment wheel. Green 2x, Blue 3x, Red 5x, Orange 10x. |
| Baccarat | Player or Banker pays 2x, Tie pays 8x. Cards are dealt from a real 52-card deck. |
| Slots | A 3x3 grid of raid-marker symbols. Lines, Diamond, X and Full Board patterns stack. |
| Plinko | Drop 1, 3, 5 or 10 balls at once and keep dropping while they fall. Pockets range from 24x to 0.2x. |
| Duck Race | Four rubber ducks race down the lanes. The winner pays 4x, but not every duck is equally fast. |
| Crash | A rocket climbs the multiplier graph. Cash out before it explodes. |
| Mines | A 5x5 field with as many mines as you choose. Every safe tile raises the payout. Cash out any time. |
| Coin Flip | Call heads or tails for 2x. It has the highest bet limit, for when you need to catch up fast. |
Some games favour you. Most don't. Learning which is which is part of the run.
Climb the tables
The casino gets fancier the longer you survive:
| Sessions | Table |

| 1–2 | Normal |
| 3–4 | Silver |
| 5–6 | Gold |
| 7–8 | Emerald |
| 9+ | Diamond |
Lose and you're back at the Normal table.

- Guild chat: [GambaGamba] New high score! Ran the bankroll up to $4,500 before busting on session 2.

Either announcement can be switched off with the cog in the top-right of the window.
