Info about Gamblers Table:

Official game description:
Click on coins to toss and flip them - having coins land on their dollar side wins you sweet, sweet cash. Use your winnings to buy more and better coins. The more coins that you own, the more coins you can flip! Spend your money on upgrades to improve your earnings and watch your coins flood the table and your income flood your pockets. Simple, satisfying and strangely compelling ...
Tired of clicking? Automate the flipping by hiring little helpers that take care of all the manual labour for you. They don’t complain, and they never question. Upgrade your helpers to make them faster, stronger and smarter or just dress them up with funny hats!
Gain talents that flip your previous strategy on its head! Unlock new coin types, stronger helpers or even divine intervention! Then sacrifice it all - leaving your fortunes behind and rising to something greater. Progress feels natural ... almost guided.
Grow, grow and grow some more! Every incremental upgrade counts while you increase your savings from hundreds to thousands to billions. Admire your riches, lean back and watch your automated empire of flipping coins grow.. A faint sense of contentment washes over you - then slips away, leaving only the urge for more...
Having a coin land on its skull side sadly doesn't earn you money, but there is a silver lining: You just earned a skull token! Use them at the capsule machines to win unique customization options for your helpers. Want an fearsome army of bunny helpers? Or would you rather have them all be underwater themed? Make sure you flip coins in style! Word on the street is that there are even rare golden and rainbow hat variants.
