It doesnt do online as advertised. No multiple gameplay. Built for one poor schmuck to play by himself. Awful game poorly made.

Buggy and the "AI" is "AS". (Artificial stupidity)

This game plays Omaha and Texas Hold-em okay but the 7 card stud and 5 card draw games are so poor that they should not have even been included. I would have rated the game higher if they had been left out. Those games are just so bad they are bugs, not features. You can only play Texas Hold-em after you leave the first casino as well and this casino has the lowest stakes. This is annoying since the Omaha game plays pretty well and it is one of my own favorite games.

I rarely see the artificial players bet more than the minimum raise on any hand. I can however usually get a player to re-raise after I re-raise them. If the AI player bet $10 and I re-raise $5,000 when I have the obvious "nuts", I can wipe that player out. If they at first raised and have the amount of the re-raise they will almost always call, re-raise and often go all in. The point being that the game seems to be based more on what the artificial player holds, not what you may or may not have. The AI betting patterns seem a little too predictable

The non "hold-em" games are just plain silly. I had the game's characters fold with three of a kind on the fourth card of seven card stud! I personally will at least call with 4 cards to a flush with three cards coming if the stakes are table minimums. The five card draw was even more stupid. The minimum bet may not be called with no re-raise with two pair before the draw!

The Omaha and Texas "Hold-em" games call a tie on any flush. For instance an ace high flush will tie a 7 high flush and the game splits the pot. This certainly makes a "nut flush" insignificant. The repetitive talking is truly annoying and seems to slow down the game play. Turning off the sound is certainly indicated after about 2 minutes.

It is still fun to play but I have earned millions of play dollars by just bullying the other players. The AI players all seem to have a distinct personality and playing against the game's best players can make the game a decent pass time if you play the "hold-em" games. It probably should not be considered a learning tool however unless you want to learn how to lose your fanny.
