I was bored/curious so I did the math: If there is a singular voltorb card and a singular gambler card, and all 14 other cards are fire energies, then the expected value of every round is: 150% of your bet on the first bet, and when the trainer card comes up you should always take the extra bet, and you should always bet on the opposite direction running through any of your already revealed cards (guaranteed to always have at least the trainer itself revealed which you can bet through for a chance to only need 3 fires instead of 4) The exact odds you can have with the trainer vary based on how many other cards you've already shown, but in general it's a roughly 160% return on your extra gambler bet assuming worst case scenario. You'll find the trainer in ~21.875% of games, (25% chance to be in your column/row, but some of the time it will be in the correct column/row but 'behind' the voltorb, so the game will end before the trainer is revealed) Expected return per game (assuming you bet the same value always, and you take the trainer when it's available) is ~1.51x your bet size. If you are allowed to place multiple bets, you could place every bet option available on the table to guarantee risk-free profit every match. With two voltorbs the house is still losing barely. With three voltorbs the house takes a pretty massive lead over the player - I didn't run the numbers but I don't think it matters whether you still have one or three trainer cards at that point, I don't think the small extra value they provide is enough. The fairest version of this game that a casino would possibly take would be a version with two voltorbs but flipped instead, to where you win by finding a voltorb, rather than by avoiding them, this keeps a small house edge (which can be further shrunk by adding extra trainer cards) but keeps the odds closest to ~50%. (Personally I imagine the psychological difference of trying to find a voltorb vs trying to avoid one makes the game more fun as it's presented in this video though, so I don't really like the idea of making a flipped variation) TLDR, if anyone wants to play this version of voltorb flip with you, take all their money! :D Or run far far away, because they also know it's a losing game for them, so the only way they'd be willing to play is if they were cheating you.
The "fairest" and most profitable version of the game would be like craps with two Voltorbs, and allowing players to pick, with inverse payouts based on data-informed betting, which is trickier with cards. In craps if you play the Don't you have a slight advantage to win, and so your lay bets are an inverse of the 2-1 3-2 6-5 payouts, because your odds of winning those are better. This tricks players into playing the worse odds for the better payout. As it is, this game with a blackjack style payout of an even-money win impacts the profitability and variety of the game for your higher-rolling casino guest.
@@nakaimckenzie5784 The odds shifting on shuffle would basically be against the house still, the ability to have a loaded board of 3 voltorbs is significant, and never less than 2 means it shift to the house's favor, but you'd basically be looking at a 50-50 of the extra card being placed down being an extra voltorb or not, because it's a 50-50 if the deck only plays with an extra fudge card. In that sense, half the time it slightly favors the player, and the other half it heavily favors the house, so it's still a substantial favor to the house to do what you want, but does insert more illusion of a gamble.
Everything the dealer does looks so professional, cutting the deck and putting the proygon back is so smooth, and the flip of the cards, along with the recollection and the shuffling, everything just feels like I'm in a casino, but unlike a real casino, this guy seems to have made money, this stuff is awesome
I love the creative games you come up with, and the nice dealer is a comforting change from the "surface nice but absolutely out to rob you" guy! Thanks for another fun video.
fast and aggressive isnt usually my thing but WOW this has me entranced. a really neat interpretation of voltorb flip! also, nice cool porygon! im jealous
Incredible how just "2 voltorbs" make it seem like a big chance to win, but it's actually a range from 3/8 (3 losing bets for 8 possible ones) to straight up 50/50
4:00 protip from in-industry, casinos refer to gamblers and people who visit as "guests". You stumbled on your phrasing and figured you weren't sure about the term.
I assume the use of that name was due to older pkmn games where "Gambler" was a trainer class, so its sort of staying in character. Still, that's good info to know.
This is a phenomenal idea for a video. I work as a Poker Dealer at a local casino myself, but instead of the Pokémon TCG, my vice is Yu-Gi-Oh. I'm kicking myself for never coming up with scenarios to combine a cardroom's ambience with Yu-Gi-Oh somehow. 😂 I would be more than happy to lose my entire buy-in to the house's rake in this casino. Lmao
I have a suggestion for a scenario for one of these. "Voltorb Flip but you use a Ghost Pokemon to Cheat" and then you can catch the person in the act. Or maybe they get away with it at the battle bets card game.
For those who want to know the players odds: Two cards out of 16 take up a minimum of 37.5% of bets (2 rows 1 column/1 row 2 columns if in the same row or column) and a maximum of 50% of bets (2 rows 2 columns if in a different row and column). Quite a smart game.
The absolute image of a high falutin fancy man in a suit smoking a cigar with whiskey betting high amounts on a children's (allegedly) card game passes every check I have
I've seen a couple of these videos and I just realized I have those exact white poker chips that we used during our senior party, hell I have one on my table too, pretty neat.
@@0pheli0ndepends on the rudeness of the character they're playing. Most asmr artists just go down the tsundere or cartoonishly evil type of character, so they might be quite funny to watch.
As a dealer I will say this you match perfectly my nice coworkers,the way the speak and talk to the players,while I myself I am the "relatable dealer" because I talk like If you and I were friends since highschool meaning "this is a bad option" while you split fcking 4s!!!
or you could use spell cards instead of energy and traps instead of voltorbs lol. im not sure what the yugioh version of gamble would be though, maybe pot of greed?
These videos are just fantastic and you deserve all the channel growth!you’ve earned it! I don’t play cards and I’m terrible at maths so correct me ha, but if you find the gambler wouldn’t it be better odds to choose the connected row/column for a second bet as it’s already guaranteed that one won’t be a voltorb? Or is that against the rules? :D
Here’s my approach. There are 14 safe cards in 16 total. The chance of getting a safe card first is 14/16. Then there are 13 safe cards in the remaining 15. So multiply (14/16)*(13/15). If we follow that pattern for all four reveals, we get (14/16)*(13/15)*(12/14)*(11/13), which equals 0.55. So there is a 55% chance that the player wins. This game as described gives the player an advantage over the house! Quite a relaxing game indeed! For the casino to make money on the game, they would have to give the player unfavorable odds, meaning that the player’s winnings would be less than the amount bet.
This is very creative, I'm really impressed at the idea! Unfortunately, ASMR is _nails_ in my brain. I tried watching it, but sixteen seconds in I was debating doing something more enjoyable, like pulling my teeth. Still, a very cool concept. More "casino background" noise would probably make it more tolerable.
This game should actually pay 4:1 or with the casino edge at least 3:1 because with 2 voltorbs only 2 rows will be safe out of 8 possible rows to pick from.
Not true at all. If both voltorbs are in the same column or row, there would be 3 bad bets, and 5 safe bets. You have better than 50% odds about 37% of the time (the likelihood of both voltorbs being either in the same column or row). 2:1 odds with a gambler on the table is actually way better than casino odds.
This game is Blackjack but easier, if you play progressive betting (increase your bet every loss by double until you win and reset at table minimum) you would need a serious loss streak to be meaningfully behind and stay there.

Let's go gambling!
*First flip Voltorb*
Aw dang it-
😂
💥💥
An accurate casino dealer. Constantly complementing me to get me to play more. They’re making sure the house wins.
😂 all too true
yea, that's how they get all the tips.......
True, but this is a slightly worse game for the house than craps.

Or run far far away, because they also know it's a losing game for them, so the only way they'd be willing to play is if they were cheating you.
I wonder how the odds would be if you added a third voltorb but didn't replace a card and left one out each time so sometimes there were only 2

I was bored and read all of this. (help!)
I’m taking a stats class so I was thinking of doing the calculation myself but you beat me to it! Thanks for the insight!
My man really just turns tcg cards into solid asmr like every other day and that’s consistent I can respect.
Thank you!
Voltorb right off the jump? Yeah that’s a perfect representation of me playing voltorb flip at 10 years old.
Everything the dealer does looks so professional, cutting the deck and putting the proygon back is so smooth, and the flip of the cards, along with the recollection and the shuffling, everything just feels like I'm in a casino, but unlike a real casino, this guy seems to have made money, this stuff is awesome
Honestly the best content out there rn absolutely love everything you post especially the tcg deck building/ shop
Thank you so much!
the compliments from this man finally make me understand why people get addicted to gambling…
I love the creative games you come up with, and the nice dealer is a comforting change from the "surface nice but absolutely out to rob you" guy! Thanks for another fun video.
Thank you!
Voltorb flip is from heartgold and soulsilver.
@@TheSonOfRyan yeah, but it's a little different compared to this game.
I LOVED playing voltorb flip in HGSS and I love ASMR, time to sleep to this masterpiece
Thank you!
I have never seen someone move so elegantly. I get tingles from just seeing you move
Thank you so much!
Yeah I ended up being totally enthralled by the way he moves.
Now this is my kind of casino. Loving the sounds and handling of the items. You can hear everything but the volume isn't too intense.
I appreciate that!
fast and aggressive isnt usually my thing but WOW this has me entranced. a really neat interpretation of voltorb flip!
also, nice cool porygon! im jealous
I’m glad you enjoyed it!

Great video!! Love the casino videos, I watch every single one :)
I'm glad you enjoy them!
This actually is such a fun game! I cannot fall asleep, I'm too much into checking if the player wins lol
Lol thats funny
i fall assleep and played the game in my sleep, still hearing the voice. Besides i never get answeres to my questions it worked perfectly 😂.
haha nice!
"Whiskey and cigar please, while we play this children trading card game"
You have just describes my ideal "night hangin with the boys."
As a longtime fan of Voltorb Flip, this was immensely satisfying
I would love a video about the prize counter at the casino
I second this!
Thats a great idea!
Gen 4 casino music was blasting in my head this whole video
This is actually amazing more of this please 🙏
Oh don’t worry, more to come 😉
I subscribed so fast, this is the best asmr idea I've ever seen and I wish this was a real thing in casinos, thank you sir for this treat
you are so good at staying immersive with this, really nice video
Thank you for the kind words!
This video has major ASMR Jeremiah vibes, I’m here for it.
Welcome!
This is flipping amazing(pun intended)

Man was I waiting for another one to put me to sleep...
Enjoy!
3:40 N-nah MFer! You aren't giving me odds, or saying how many voltorbs are in a deck! I can't make an informed bet this way 😭😭😭😭😭

Great video, only a matter of time before you're discovered
didnt know gambling could be so relaxing
I want to play Voltorb flip now. I want to make a Pokémon Casino just for this
Me too!
Im so glad i found you i hope you get 10k very soon!!❤❤
Holy shit 8k subs already 🎉
So crazy!
Yes voltorb flip is back!
Enjoy!
Can u feel it yeah
For some reason I fell asleep to this
Lol thats a good sign
I just know that there is some people in this Pokemon universe that have a personal vendetta against Voltorbs now
I'm hooked to gambling now. The only thing I'm missing is poofesure screaming like elmo and toad when he loses
🤣
Oh boy, I had the honor of the 1,000th like
Thanks for the like!
You have such a great voice and presentation
Thank you so much!!
It’s a 55% chance of getting 4 non-Voltorb cards, so LET’S GO GAMBLING
I calculated it wrong twice before I remembered the proper way to do it 😅
You’re absolutely right that the player has a 55% chance of winning!
Love this TCG casino! Im hoping we get a Yu-Gi-Oh one where you bet off monster Attributes kinda like the pokemon one!
or you could use spell cards instead of energy and traps instead of voltorbs lol. im not sure what the yugioh version of gamble would be though, maybe pot of greed?
I will try!
Yeah, that’s the HGSS experience right there
😂
Very nice video once again.
Thank you!
These videos are just fantastic and you deserve all the channel growth!you’ve earned it!

Thank you! Thats a good point.
Thank you for all your hard work in creating great content:)
Most dealers are NOT this cordially. Honestly, a nice change of pace from what I’m used to
Nice video
What am I looking at are those Ultra Pro sleeves?
Nothing has made me hate voltorb as much as grinding for a proygon in soul sliver. (I am really bad at minesweeper)
5 thousand dollars a hand?! Hot damn
How many voltorb cards are in the set? I’d love to do with with my friends as a fun mini game in between tcg rounds
2 Voltorbs and 1 of the special cards. In this case “Gambler”
Do you play any other CCGs? The thought of Netrunner asmr crossed my mind in watching all the card flipping and poker chip sounds.
I don’t have as much experience with others, but I’m down to learn!
I like that it isn't the same energy cards
Thanks!
So this is what was going down Celadon City gaming corner 😳
I heard a rumor Sabrina is actually banned from this casino 😮
I’ve heard that too!
I’ll be honest I didnt like male ASMR until I found this….now I can’t stop watching your content
Nooo first flip of the day is voltorb 🥺
Also I feel like it’s a 50/50 chance of winning 💰
It's actually a 55% chance of victory!
Has anyone calculated the odds for this game? I would love to know the house edge if there is one
I’m not sure the exact odds. I think some others have calculated them on a few of my other videos.
Here’s my approach. There are 14 safe cards in 16 total. The chance of getting a safe card first is 14/16. Then there are 13 safe cards in the remaining 15. So multiply (14/16)*(13/15). If we follow that pattern for all four reveals, we get (14/16)*(13/15)*(12/14)*(11/13), which equals 0.55. So there is a 55% chance that the player wins.

Hehe, pens shaped
hey those are the exact same casino chips I own!
awesome!
I need the streght of this dealer i would have laughed my ass off if those two first hands happend
Another universal lab video foreshadow? 👀👀
For sure!
So $100,000 poké dollars is roughly $650 USD, so the losses arent as bad.
Wait, one pokeball is $1.30??
@GunslingProductions assuming yeah
My dyslexia has me cooked, I read "NICEST Dealer" as "INCEST Dealer"
I don't know if I'll ever recover
Your cooked lol.
lol oh no
Arceus: YOU'RE GOING TO HISUI
Please do a yugioh one like deck building or tournament it would be awsome
I will try!
Is this game based on a real card game or is it completely original? It seems so real and the odds are believable
The name is based on a game in Heart Gold, but this casino game is just something I came up with.
This is very creative, I'm really impressed at the idea!
Unfortunately, ASMR is _nails_ in my brain. I tried watching it, but sixteen seconds in I was debating doing something more enjoyable, like pulling my teeth.
Still, a very cool concept. More "casino background" noise would probably make it more tolerable.
Side note: have you played the Pokémon TCG pocket on mobile ? And if so have you liked it? 👀
I actually havent. how is it?
@@asmr_and_rit’s pretty fun, opening packs is addicting lol but it’s not the same as TCG. it’s more of a quick condensed version

i love this content !! but jesus christ im hating that voltorb
Im with you!
Bro why did I see that so quick and thought it said incest dealer!? Omg lol
😂

Elaborate?
