CONTENT WARNING
This film contains gambling (live play, images, sounds and slot simulation) which may be very triggering to people with a gambling addiction or who are in recovery.
A support pack follows the film, providing access to support organisations and further information.
If slot machine simulation will be triggering to you, please contact us on admin@danteordie.com and we will send you a non-interactive version.
REVIEWS
4 stars "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
4 stars "A stunningly clever hybrid of intimate drama, film and gameplay" - Everything Theatre
ABOUT ODDS ON
We are incredibly excited to share our new project with you. Odds On is our first ever interactive short film and continues our experiments in digital storytelling.
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.
Odds On will have a national digital tour until the end of 2022.
