Kano Mahoro and Four Friends Take an Hour to Clear Day One of Co-op Gambling Game

MILLIONPRODUCTION — Kano Mahoro played the co-op gambling game Gamble With Your Friends on Tuesday with Aoi Sakura, Shiromanta, Cpt and BobSappAim, and the group needed about an hour to get through the game’s first day.

The stream opened with an audio problem: the group’s voices and the game sound were not reaching the broadcast. Mahoro stepped away to call her manager, who sorted it out within minutes. “I really can’t do anything without my manager,” she said once it was fixed. She then asked everyone to introduce themselves in alphabetical order and explained the game. Players share one pool of money and one debt, each in-game day lasts five minutes, and the group has to meet a daily quota at the casino. A scoreboard shows who gained or lost money, so a single all-in bet that fails can sink everyone.

“I think this is the kind of game that’s really fun and lively when you play it with friends, so let’s definitely play it again.” — Kano Mahoro, closing the stream

The first attempts went badly. The group put its starting money on a duck race, lost it and could only wait out the clock, and falling short of the quota got their characters killed and sent them back to day one. Later runs added blackjack, roulette, and items bought with shared tickets, including one that rewinds the last 60 seconds. Mahoro said she had read that the game takes about two hours to clear. Around the 55-minute mark the group finally got through the first day.

The game then grew stranger. A gun and a camera paid out for body parts and photos, and characters that lost body parts stayed that way into later runs, leaving some players with a rolling, nauseating view. The slot machines, which a game challenge called for, carried the group through another day at about an hour and a half. The run ended at roughly 1 hour 49 minutes, when the shared money ran out and the group got a game over. Afterward the players agreed the game depended more on items and luck than they had expected, and that they did not see how to clear it.

Mahoro thanked each guest by name at the close, said she had not yet had dinner and was going to eat, and added that the archive would go private briefly while she cut part of the first half.
