## What is Big Stakes 5?

The "Big Stakes 5" is a supercharged, offensive-based 4 player dominoes game. What makes "Big Stakes 5" different from the base dominoes game is the element of using CHIPS to not only keep score, but also to award players "Big Stakes 5" dollars for winning during game play. Keeping score by totaling the number of “five-point” CHIPS won and accumulated during each game eliminates the “uncertainty” of who scored points during a game and how many points were scored.



"Big Stakes 5" offers players a unique, fun, and exciting gaming experience. It creates intrigue and stimulates players to become strategic thinkers and problem solvers.



"Big Stakes 5" has “cracked the code” and opened the door to high-stakes excitement for the casual social gamer, the traditional dominoes player and poker players that are looking for the next thrill, challenge, and payday!



Family and friends will enjoy playing “Big Stakes 5” which is a gender and age agnostic game at home with the same energy as tournament players!



The "Big Stakes 5" dominoes board is configured so each player can make strategic decisions at a moment’s notice by visually analyzing “real-time” game play data, as presented on the table. The game is quick and easy to learn and fun for all. Each player can visualize “real-time” the value of all player’s current points won as well as all "Big Stakes 5" game dollars in play and won.

### 4/5 — Exemplary

*2021-03-25, version 1.0*

Back when I had a gambling addiction (around the age of 25 when my wife left me), I never once packed my bags to head to Vegas or shoot dice with the boys off the corner of 14th. High stakes gaming was never for me either, as any simulation retriggered some of the trauma left behind by the fateful night of April 26th, when my wife discovered that I spent our baby daughter’s college fund to lose it all on slots. Then I tried out this game—which by the way, I have never played dominos—by recommendation and loved it! The learning curve isn’t too difficult and it’s quite enjoyable once you get a feel for it! The app itself operates smoothly despite it being in V1. Excited to see more features added to the game, but it is still very good nonetheless. I would give it a 5 if it was out longer. My new wife and sponsor, Heather, will be excited to hear about this new finding, though she doesn’t know I’ve been secretly playing this game underneath the bar table in our basement. I’ll wait till she checks the internet bill!
