* LowTierLetdown: The new [[WayPastTheExpirationDate Expired Medicine]] item in "Double or Nothing" is often seen as a worthless by players. When originally included on ''Steam'', it had a mere 40% chance of healing you, or it would damage you by a single HealthPoint. Most gamers would never use it unless they were in a hopeless situation. Worse, the Dealer prioritizes on healing himself after being shot, and if he has Adrenaline, will steal yours away and possibly recover 2HP. The item has seen a StatusBuff from the developer, where it now has 50/50 odds of healing you, but even then is still seen as an inferior item to the cigarettes in most circumstances.

* ThatOneAchievement: Getting 1000K (winning over 1 million dollars) on the Steam version of "Double or Nothing". It is insanely difficult to last against the Dealer that long to pull this feat off, when there are no retries. Expect to get annihilated if you get [[RandomNumberGod very bad luck]] with items.

* BrokenBase: Some players have been divided over the [[{{Platform/Steam}} Steam version]] of "Double or Nothing", where not only has the Dealer's previous ArtificialStupidity been tweaked enough that the computer now plays very competently (and dangerously) most of the time, but it [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks includes new items]] not seen on the itch.io site's original version. Some appreciated the randomized items and difficulty, though not all were well-received, like the [[LowTierLetdown Expired Medicine]], and felt they affected the overall great balance of luck and strategy the game once had. The "[[ThatOneAchievement 1000K achievement]]" is now insanely difficult to reach since luck plays a bigger role in surviving rounds than ever before.

** At the end of every round of "Double or Nothing", any unused items the Dealer or you still had on the table [[MassCardRemoval are removed]]...except when you continue a new game after doubling your winnings. This puts the player at a ''huge disadvantage'' for the first round of a new game, as the Dealer is very likely packing some serious combo-damaging items, whereas the player will have [[RandomDrop fewer/weaker items]]. If you can survive this round, the items will reset as normal again.

** The Dealer keeling over after taking the [[WayPastTheExpirationDate Expired Medicine]], which has a 40% chance of healing 2 charges and a 60% chance of taking one away, is also pretty funny since he just suddenly smashes sideways onto the floor. Especially if he did it in attempt to heal his last remaining health point.

** The Dealer's item animations will either be unnervingly intimidating, or using them in bizarre and nonsensical ways. Tossing the adrenaline off to the side without using it, slamming back a can of beer in one gulp, or just politely clasping handcuffs on himself despite not having wrists are all stand-out examples.

* GoodBadBugs: If the Dealer has both a magnifying glass and beer on the table, it may use the magnifying glass first, then use the beer to rack the shotgun if it's a blank. Due to an oversight in its AI, the Dealer will assume the next shell is ''also'' a blank due to thinking that the gun is still loaded with the shell it looked at, resulting in a very high chance of it shooting itself in the face.

* ComplacentGamingSyndrome: Despite the supposed advantage to taking another turn if a self-targeted shot results in a blank, most players will only fire at the dealer if they have no way of knowing what's in the shotgun. This is advantageous in terms of probability no matter how many blanks and live rounds are in the shotgun, but relying on this strategy becomes murkier when items are thrown into the ring.

* ItsShortSoItSucks: One of the few complaints about the game, as most players beat it in roughly half an hour. This was addressed with the addition of Double or Nothing mode, which allows the game to continue however long the player wishes and rack up a higher score. Given the game sold for $1.20, most don't hold the game's length against it too much, as the content they got for the price is widely praised.
