Dante or Die present
Odds On
Following the award-winning video podcast User Not Found, Dante or Die bring you an interactive short film.
Log in to Pearls of Fortune, the online slots game that’s caught us all in its net, give yourself a fun name, pick an adorable avatar, and plunge beneath the waves for a few spins.
Odds On takes you deep down into the world of online gambling; from that first win, all the way behind the screen to give a game’s-eye view of how your fellow players are really doing.
Follow Felicity, a valued customer, and peer beneath the murky depths to see how a cheeky spin can spiral out of control.
This film contains gambling (live play, images, sounds & slot simulation) which may be very triggering to people with a gambling addiction or who are in recovery. If slot machine simulation will be triggering to you, please contact admin@danteordie.com, who will send you a non-interactive version of Odds On.
For ages 14+.
★★★★ "Odds On is an exemplar of the way online theatre has developed in the past few years..... The animations and haunting soundtrack ... have a naive kind of power and the film’s final, beautiful aerial shot of sea waves and open skies gives us hope.... while leaving the story open-ended." - The Guardian
★★★★"A stunningly clever hybrid of intimate drama, film and gameplay" - Everything Theatre
