If you've never been in a real casino and have visions of sitting down at the Blackjack table and making incredibly gutsy calls like James Bond and winning huge money while some stacked blonde gets her panties in a wad leaning on your shoulder, this game will expose you to the reality of casino gaming without bankrupting you.

The first mind-blowing fact in this game is how easy it is to utterly destroy your original stake of $5000 chasing after that elusive "big win." The truth about casino gaming is that, to win big, you have to bet big, and betting big is something that a poor schmuck with just a measly $5000 can NOT afford to do in Vegas, Monte Carlo, Atlantic City or anywhere else.

The second thing you will learn in Hoyle Casino is that emerging from a casino with more money than you walked in with is something close to a miracle, and it will require a combination of luck and iron-willed self-discipline from you. Think about it, folks - you don't build a place like Caesar's Palace or Wynn Las Vegas because your company has a history of LOSING money. The casino business is probably second only to petroleum in having a fool-proof system for fleecing its customers and sending them home in a barrel. If you are going into a casino to be entertained, great. Have some drinks, and make sure to leave your ATM card in the hotel room.

On the other hand, if you are going into a casino with the goal of beating the house by ANY amount, (much less by a significant one,) you will have to be smart, educated and lucky. The smart comes from birth and life, the luck comes from... who knows? But the education comes from right here. Read the manual VERY carefully where the games you are interested in are concerned, then practice, practice, practice.

Hoyle Casino is a GREAT place to learn the hard knowledge you will want to have before you even dream of walking into the den of wolves that the real-life casino most absolutely is, and if you take to heart the hard lessons that Hoyle Casino can teach, you might have a chance of coming out ahead in Vegas.

My husband bought Hoyle Casino for the tutorials it offers for each game. I have since become addicted to playing blackjack and creating new characters with the face creator. All in all, a great way to kill time.

worth the cost

Hoyle Casino 2008
I have been playing Hoyle Games for a long while. Each year they add new stuff. This time around they added Video Slots-a game I have been curious about since seeing them in actual casinos.
I am very satisfied with the quality and completeness of these games. I spent quite a bit of my time playing them and enjoy it.

Great, fun, good practice for the real thing !!

This is a repackage of the 2002 version with extremely very little improvements. The three levels of play is no-existant. It is the same system with a couple of improvements (NO GAMING RELATED). Save your money and buy either the 2006 or earlier, but move on.

This is the worst game I have ever played. Completely biased toward computer. Gives PAYING player no chance to win. I would recommend it only to my worst enemy///// Hoyle Casino 2008Hoyle Casino 2008

I usual don't play much games, but this casino game is the best one yet. I have hours of fun, playing a variety of casino games. Its real life animations are great, you feel like your actual in the casino. The game has a tutorial that helps you along the way, so you can learn about the game as you play. I am impress with the way the characters look and sound so real and their comments are so funny at times. I really enjoy playing and hope that whoever sees this review would get one. The best thing about this is that you can play as long as you like, bet as much as your (pretend) credit card allows and you don't have to suffer and true life consequences. Thank you Hoyle board casino games.

Nopoint in buying new edition

I already had HC2004 and was looking forward to updated graphics, more interactive gameplay and improved game selection. What I got was just about the same thing! What was even more tough to take was it didn't even provide the opportunity to load like an upgrade! I lost all my past history. They didn't even offer any more choices to face maker! This whole thing is nothing more than 2004 with a couple new games. Save your money buy a discounted copy of 2004!
