About

Following the award-winning video podcast User Not Found, Dante or Die bring you a new, free to watch, interactive short film that’ll have you hooked from the start.

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.

You can access Odds On through the link below from Mon 19 - Mon 26 Sep at no cost, and booking is not required. The film lasts 40 minutes. Just click the link whenever you're ready to watch!

Please Note: This film contains gambling (live play, images, sounds & slot simulation) which may be very triggering to people with a gambling addiction or who are in recovery. If slot machine simulation will be triggering to you, please contact admin@danteordie.com, who will send you a non-interactive version of Odds On.

The Traverse Theatre is funded by Creative Scotland and The City of Edinburgh Council, and has received additional support from the Scottish Government's Performing Arts Venues Relief Fund and Creative Scotland’s Recovery Fund for Cultural Organisations.
