Value not updating when passed back into function

[Parasin]

I am working on a problem that simulates a Roulette wheel at a casino spinning. The user enters the starting amount of money, chooses a type of bet, and the amount. (So far, I am using the 'single bet' option for testing). The problem I have noticed is that when I am passing the 'total money' from the 'money remaining' function, back into the 'bet menu' function, it is being set back to the starting amount that the user indicated.

I have tried many different ways to solve this, but can't figure out where I have gone wrong.
I feel like I might need to use a pointer to the address of the updated value?

The dynamic array that I have created is intended to store the amount of the bet for each bet, but this is also not working. I'm sure that these are both extremely trivial problems, but I am unable to figure out exactly where I have gone wrong. Any advice is appreciated! Thank you.

int money_Remaining (long int total_Money, int bet_Amount)
{
	total_Money = total_Money - bet_Amount;

	cout << adjusted_Money << endl;

	if (adjusted_Money == 0) //Exit the loop sequence if user runs out of money
    {
		cout << "You have no more money to bet! Betting phase ending.\n";
		bet_Again = 0;
		cin.get();
		system ("CLS");
	}
	else if (adjusted_Money < 0)//Exit the loop sequence if user runs out of money
	{
		cout << "You cannot bet more than you have left, your last bet is invalid.\nBetting phase ending.\n";
		bet_Again = 0;
		cin.get();
		system ("CLS");
	}
	return bet_Again, adjusted_Money;
}

I'm nearing the point where I feel like I have written a tangled mess of 'spaghetti-code' and it may be better to just save my main function and the switch, but delete the rest and start over from scratch.

looking at line 45 money_Remaining (total_Money, bet_Again); Your money Remaining function returns an integer value which means you have to assign that value to something total_Money = money_Remaining (total_Money, bet_Again); I'm also thinking bet_Again should be bet_Amount


line 108 return bet_Again, adjusted_Money; You can only return one value. If you wan't to return more than that you would have to use pointers or reference variables

[Parasin]

I tried your suggestion for line 45, somewhere the variable 'total money' is being re-adjusted to the 'starting_Money' variable.

I also changed line 108, I made the 'if' and 'else if' include return bet_Again, and the return that is in question now only includes 'adjusted_Money'.

Thank you for these by the way. In your opinion, should I scrap some of my functions and try to redo them?

[Parasin]

I got the 'total_Money' variable working!!! Thank you for your help, I had forgotten to pass that variable into the take_bet function. Everything is running smoothy now.

Your help is extremeley appreciated, Yanson.
