Money went negative after a big casino win
You win a huge roulette payout — for example x35 — and your money total flips to a large negative number.

What is actually going on
This is an integer overflow, not a gambling bug. The variable holding your money has a maximum value; a payout big enough to exceed it wraps around to the largest negative number the game can store, and nothing checks for it.
What to try
- Selling fish still works and will slowly climb the number back up — one player confirmed this in the thread.
- Realistically that is a very long grind, so most players start a new save or restore money another way.
- Avoid staking a huge amount on the green sector in one go. The x35 payout is what pushes the total past the limit.
- If it has already happened: do not keep gambling. Betting again from a negative balance only makes it worse.
Where this comes from
Every step above is taken from player reports on the Steam discussion board — we did not test it ourselves, and the game has shipped six patches since launch, so behaviour can change. These are the threads:
- Steam thread “guys i won x35 on a 77 mil thing and now my money are in minus wth” — the overflow explanation and the sell-fish workaround.
- Steam thread “Roulette chances”
