About the game
Zero to Hero: LIVE is the most-watched show on television. You've just been cast.
Every season the Casting Draw pulls a hundred ordinary people off the street and drops them onto a set dug under the studio lot. A season is ten episodes. Each episode is one set, fifteen minutes on the clock, and an exit you have to reach before the episode wraps. Rex Valentine hosts from upstairs. You play one of the hundred.

About the game
A first-person online betting game for up to eight players, set in one connected world.
Everyone readies up and gets in the van. The host drives and picks the stop on the GPS: the track, the fights or the stadium. You bet in-game money at windows, terminals and the club's betting apps, take side bets from each other, and when the event ends the crew is ranked by what each player made. Each host's world is saved, so bankrolls, debts and the football season carry into the next session.

Degenerate Downs
Horse racing with a pari-mutuel tote, so the odds move as the money comes in. Every standard wager is on the card, from Win, Place and Show to the Pick 6.
Knuckle Hall
MMA fight nights in the octagon. Bet moneylines, props and parlays on DSC Bet, or sign up for a walk-on fight yourself.
Degen Stadium
Football. Every snap of a DFL game is played out on the field. Bet spreads, totals, touchdown scorers, same game parlays and live lines at DFL Bet.
Side bets
Bet against the other players directly, at any venue.
Stress
Losses raise your stress. Rattled, then tilted, then a meltdown that gets you barred from betting. Food and drink bring it down.
Going broke
Every venue has part-time work for players who run out of money, and a loan shark who will front you more.
Clubhouse games
Mini golf, HORSE, ping pong and cornhole at DSC Headquarters, all played for a stake.
Trophies
Twenty-four trophies to earn across the venues, plus a lifetime record for every player.
Online play
Host a game and share a six-character code. Lobbies run through Steam.
