The only redeeming qualities of this anime are the art and the gay subtext. It's basically softcore porn.

The plot captured my attention for like 4 episodes before I got irritated with it. It's overly complicated and obvious that nothing is actually being risked. Just play russian roulet you psychos! You wanna bet your life then don't introduce some ridiculous cheating! Put the bullet in the gun and shoot! I was so looking forward to that episode and it was a huge dissapointment! That's when I just got pissed with the whole series. Also- the random loli character? In a high school? NOT a fan. Her voice is hella annoying, but she doesn't talk a whole lot, and I don't understand what about her character is supposed to be unique besides her dumb voice and out of uniform clothes. Like are you someone's little sister? Why are you here? 

The saxophone losing it shit during all the gambling scenes was pretty funny tho, and the faces are absolutely ridiculous. Plus, there's a tiny bit of non-sensical gore. 

So the plot is contrived, the characters are boring, and the sound is repetetive. But the art is great and all together it's almost so bad it's good. I enjoyed it enough for one watch, but I don't think I could watch it again without getting annoyed.
