This is one hell of a unique show and the first season is done incredibly well. Having a main protagonist who is a chaotic neutral (not bad, not good, and unpredictable) is fun. The first season was simple yet complex enough to really pull me in. It has great character development and many "OH DAMN!" moments that make it stand out. I'd easily give the first season a 9/10.
The second season was decent, but not nearly as polished. Way too many new characters, and the bets were either convoluted or meaningless. Possibly worth a watch, but the ending was completely lacking.
Season 1 - 9/10 Season 2 - 5/10
Series as a whole - 7/10
Watch the first season and if you really love it, go into the second season with lowered expectations.

I binge watched both seasons and am hoping that they release a third season soon! I'd say that it's worth watching if you can keep up with all of the game information that's given with each gamble AND also if you're into overreacting characters. I watched an episode of the original non-animated series and the animated version does the movie a great deal of justice and more. Honestly if you find yourself critiquing it poorly, you should have done your research before watching it.
Just watching it made my heart beat faster in some situations, amazing animation and design.
Lovely show. Yes it is great for passing time but it's nothing close to amazing. I would say watch it if you have time to spare but dont give it a second thought if not.
The title states most of it. If you loved Yugioh as a kid, you'll love this. If not, it's probably not the show for you.
On the technical side of things, this show is absolutely gorgeous. The animation, the designs, the backgrounds are all incredible. The voice acting is phenomenal (both the sub and the dub, which is amazing). And the music is so good that I actually downloaded the soundtracks for both seasons.
The actual gambling is flashy, but it won't take you long to realize there aren't many stakes (much like Yugioh). But while the gambling aspects could be handled better (it is a gambling anime after all), most of the fun comes from watching these insane characters bounce off each other. They all have wildly different and entertaining personalities, and the writers and actors do an excellent job at selling their interactions.
As a gambling anime, it fails. But as a messed up school-comedy, it's amazing.
