Gamblers ball will sometimes not cast properly and will "fizzle-out". The cast animation happens at the tower, but the spell will not move across the screen and fails to apply any effect. Check the very end of the attached replay for an example.
Edit: This is as of the 2.1 patch

So it's both invisible and doesn't heal/damage? There is an ongoing bug where some spells are invisible but they still apply the damage appropriately.

Both actually. If you watch the replay, it's invisible but does apply the effect, but at the end it's invisible and doesn't apply the effect. I cast it a couple of times during the match.

Does it happen just as the match ends?
restive wave
well, looking at that replay, at the very end you cast gambler's ball which was visual and had an effect
there's been a bug for a while now where fireball visually doesn't show up, so that's going to happen for the fireball part of gambler's ball too

Once in the middle and once at the end. It's a short match so watching the replay won't take much time.

Invisible spells have been inconsistent even for the user. I have had invisible spells, check the replay and it is still invisible but if I restart the game and check the replay or someone else checks it then it is visible to them.
That being said the application of the damage for fireball / dragonball is consistent.

I just played a few more matches and it happened every time I casted gamblers ball. No animation and no effect. Even after a restart.

I checked this and for me it is both visible and applies the effect appropriately.
To clarify how Gambler's Ball currently works: If you don't activate it by sacrificing 3 Slitherbound (which is how you are using it) then it will randomly cast either a Healing Fireball or Fireball. From what I can see it both heals when it is a Healing Fireball and damages when it is a Fireball.
^ If you aren't seeing this in regards to applying the healing and damage then a video of what you are experiencing will be required.

was it a heal ball or fileball in that example?
