The elite rulers also earn more popularity, added connections, and prestigious status. The winners get the option to be on the ruling side whereas the losers become slaves or pets.

This, in turn, forms the backbone of a gambling system where students need to bet their fortunes against one another after class. Those who give higher monetary contributions to the student council, rule the school. However, this institute runs on a hierarchy system, where students are divided into sections based on their performance, not in athletics or academics, but in a series of gambling games. ‘Kakegurui’ is set against the backdrop of the Hyakkaou Private Academy, a school where kids of rich, influential political and business families come to study. She does not wish to follow the rules that have governed this institute for a long time. Jabami Yumeko is the new arrival in school and quickly becomes friends with Ryota. There’s not much of a backstory on how he landed in Hyakkaou Academy and he doesn’t have a knack for gambling. Ryōta Suzui, a sweet, naive guy, is Mary’s classmate. But she loses in one of the gambling games and becomes a pet. Mary Saotome is a headstrong and independent girl, the star of her class. She is joined by other main characters played by Mahiro Takasugi as Ryota Suzui, Aoi Morikawa as Mary Saotome, Taishi Nakagawa as Kaede Manyuda, Natsume Mito as Runa Yomozuki, Yurika Nakamura as Sayaka Igarashi, Ruka Matsuda as Itsuki Sumeragi, Natsumi Okamoto as Yuriko Nishinotouin, and Miki Yanagi as Midari Ikishima. ‘Kakegurui’ stars Minami Hamabe as Jabami Yumeko, who is the protagonist.
