Behind the curtain.

Reeluxe is a casino management game set at The Gilded Ace. Game design and analytics: AI-assisted team project for Dashboard Royale. Casino and all people shown are fictional. Background and cabinet artwork are AI-generated.

Open-source foundations

Virtual Slot Machine by Kevin Ellis (MIT): reel geometry and textures, with adapted Three.js scene and lever controls. 2048 by Gabriele Cirulli (MIT): adapted resilient local-save component; personal best and short-round feedback inspired the interface. Unciv: turn-based planning and readable resource tradeoffs informed our design; no Unciv code/assets copied.

Your progress and chat

No account, analytics tracker or public leaderboard. Progress and best score are stored in this browser. Ace uses Gemini for live coaching and local guidance when unavailable. Your question and fictional game state are sent through our server to Google; no API key is exposed to players. Gemini proposes ideas, while our calculator tests them. Free-tier requests may be used by Google to improve products under its terms. Clear them with “Clear local save.” Hosting infrastructure may process standard access logs. Downloading a plan saves a file on your device. Optional sound starts only after you enable it.

About the game

The casino and money are fictional. There are no wagers, payments or prizes. The entrance always lands on 777. Ace’s advice never buys anything for you; you choose each action. Practice-game outcomes are separate from the historical challenge findings.
