The blackjack dealer cheats. He should always hit with 16 and hold with 17 but he doesn't.

I coded the dealer to stand with 16 or more only if the player has less than that. Otherwise, he hits to try to beat the player. It wouldn't make sense for the dealer to stand with 16 or 17 if the player has 18, for example.The blackjack dealer cheats. He should always hit with 16 and hold with 17 but he doesn't.
Is there a way to set true incest using the sugarcube variables and just modifying them? Looking at the variables, I see stuff like variables.incest and variables.<charactername>rel for the duaghters with the value as 'stepdaughter'. But manually changing this stuff doesn't seem to actually adjust the dialogue.

Why don´t you use the "fan-made patch" from the first page? In this html the "step-" is not there, but other than that it´s basically the same.

Oh i didn´t know that. I play the fan patch all the time, but didn´t find a bug yet, that i am aware of.
Second question. Who are the mutually exclusive ladies? Like I know to meet Rachel you have to get caught infilitrating Willis which means not stopping the cyber attack so Rachel and Blache are somewhat exclusive. And I know that if you want to get Angela pregnant you can't hang out with the car lady.

For anyone interested, a sugarcube mini-list of variables / a cheat list. Works even on the online version of the game (at the very least on nothingames)
Keep in mind, that changing any value can alter the story/game, or even outright break it, causing unintended behavior and bugs, even bricking.
If there are any supporter-only scenes, characters, outcomes, go support the developer as I won't outline anything here.
Edit, for the lazy ones (preg, lust, love, MOST scenes - some of them are dual, like angelaginascene1, and I can't be bothered to throw all of them here):

How do I start a "new game+" with achievements saved? For 41 days, I can only select the "sandbox mode", and when I restart, the achievements are reset to zero.
This happens when you use the browser in incognito mode or when your cache is cleared.
Read the FAQ in op for more info.
But Blackjack in casinos does not work this way. They have a set of rules to follow depending on the casino, usually hit if 16-, stay if 17+. The dealer does not try to 'intelligently' beat the player, they are just there to administer the game. If the player for some reason stays on 10, and they have 15, they still must hit.
I've never played blackjack in real casinos, but that doesn't seem right to me. If the player stands with 10 and the dealer has 15, it doesn't make sense for the dealer to hit. But as I said, I'm not a regular at casinos.
Two problems will arise if the dealer does try to think:
1. There would be endless compaints if they do the 'wrong thing' and the far more important 2. The house will have much much more of an advantage than they normally do. No one would play in that casino. Hence the comments you've gotten about blackjack in this game cheating. When slots have a better return rate than blackjack, you know something is wrong.
Now, this is a game, and people are just going to save cheese the returns either way, but it is weird to play blackjack that is worse than real life. Casinos already make enough money.

Another way to think about it is that generally Blackjack is played at a table with multiple players + the dealer. If the dealer doesn't follow fixed hit/stay rules, then it'd be easy for the dealer to favor some players over others. Even if the dealer is strictly even-handed on his/her choices, it'd be easy to make the case of unfairness, and casinos cannot survive if they're believed to be cheating.
Guys, thanks for the feedback regarding blackjack. As I said, I don't know the "official" rules since I'm not a real-life gambler. I'll try to fix that. To be honest, if I had known this from the beginning, I would have done it this way, since it's much easier to code the dealer so they don't have to think.

Or you could just keep it as-is, and perhaps make it so that if you win enough, there's a character who owns the casino, or something along those lines, who interacts with you in a good or bad manner. You're playing someone that's part of a mafia or gang of sorts, so it would only make sense that the casino is controlled by someone who cheats and takes note of your ethical winning/cheating, and could be a rival member, leader, partner, another cheater/gambler, or even just some random character.
Having to go back and rewrite/recode stuff, when you could just essentially use it for your benefit/as a means/reason to add another character/scene, is kinda a missed opportunity.
There's already a situation like that in the casino, but with the slots. If you win 3k on the slots, the casino manager (Shalina) sends the security guards to take you to her office because she thinks you're cheating.

Then you could just make it so that it applies to the blackjack as well, where if you win too much, despite the dealer's "cheating", you are automatically assumed to be a cheater.
