Casino is a python3 PyQT desktop application designed to simulate a video poker machine. It was designed to be deployed on a touch screen + Raspberry Pi. It uses the NIST randomness beacon when shuffling the cards.
This was made as part of my Halloween costume for party in October 2021. I went as a fully-interactive casino card dealer. While I was busy at the party, I could leave this machine in a corner to entertain more guests. To be honest, I spent more time on building this machine and this application than I did on the clothes of my actual costume.
It plays Video Poker quite well. I had hopes to implement video blackjack, but I couldn't get the graphical component to work in time for the party.
To use:
- set CASINO_PATH environment variable to this directory
- install python 3.8 using pyenv
- install pipenv
- install dependencies:
pipenv install -d - run the GUI application:
pipenv run python casino/gui.py
Warning: This is nasty hackathon code and my first PyQT application, so it will be a mess.
