I can tell a lot of thought went into the systems for this game! The methods you use to draw Tony in seem eerily accurate to the logic behind real slot games (i.e. the near wins). It was a bit hard for me to grasp the strategy at first, though. It might be fun if you had different players with different attitudes/spending limits!

Nice idea! Love the simple presentation! A suggestion: Maybe if Tony is on a winning streak, he's compelled to bet more the next time, so that it could be balanced on the player's side too, but I guess even this could be exploited. Regardless, this game has incredible replay value!

Heros AdventusCool game idea pretending to be an evil slot machine. It is hard to make him lose money though as you need to play the long game.

Cut-Throat CleanerSuspicion has two elements. The "sus" value itself and a multiplier. Both go down over time and with larger wins. But if you spam sussy actions, that multiplier shoots up quickly and takes a lot to make it go down. If you want to kill sus and give a boatload of fun, give Tony a jackpot... but that leaves you at the mercy of the "cashout" mechanic.
Ironically enough i got addicted myself, playing those slots, trying to take all the money from Tony. Gotta say, it was pretty tough, got close once, but ran out of "Fun" meter. After several attempts i've realized that i'm becoming Tony, heh.
Pretty nice concept and the mechanics keep you engaged, even though some could say it's partly because of the gambling mechanic. But i think it's not that simple, since the resource here is not the money, but attention, so you gotta be more strategic than just rely on random chances.
Good job!

Ego Clash: The Self DuelWhat a fun idea! I kept trying out different combinations to see what would get me the best possible results!

Busy Li'l WitchI get to make this poor sap named Tony lose the only money to his name (that being $20). 10/10, would spin again
