Ludum Dare #50extra
Fair Dice Game
A Fair Dice game where you inevitably will lose all of your money!
Players can choose dice to hold. When specific combinations come up (all-even, all-6s, three-5s, etc) players can cash in to make money! Players can spend money in the shop to upgrade their earning potential.
But remember, the house inevitably wins!

I like your interpretation of the theme. Casinos are indeed a great example of only delaying the inevitable. I also like the roguelike direction of the game and the different upgrade paths with the shop. However, I have to agree with the previous commenter, I was very confused what to do. Also, I feel mouse controls could have been better because you are essentially only clicking buttons and that's faster and easier with a mouse and makes the navigation easier. But I like the idea and because it's an extra game I assume you are allowed to keep tweaking it.

So, it took me a few tries to figure out how cashing out actually worked, but it was a good game as soon as I did. Like @likirus mentioned, it would have been easier to navigate with a mouse rather than just keyboard.
I couldn't find a way to bypass the shop without buying something, which is what I usually wanted to do if I didn't like the upgrade options or I was just low on cash. I think that might be by design? It certainly made the game more difficult.
Managed to get as high as $19,000. No plans on going to Vegas anytime soon.
