I've loved the Hoyle game series (Card Games, Casino, and Puzzle & Board Games)for many years. But, the last Mac versions were released in 2002 and were only compatible with OS 9. These older versions were still playable on pre-Intel Macs, but the newer Macs with Intel chips no longer have compatibility with pre-Mac OS X software.

Finally, the long wait is over and new versions of the excellent Hoyle Games are available for today's Mac users! :-)

JUST LIKE BEING IN A CASINO!

this software game is pure fun and you really feel as though you are in a casino (without spending the $) they even give you Bnkroll of money to use so it's just not like collecting "points" or something, really feels like the real thing LOL. i would recommend this to anyone who wants the feel of a casino in the privacy of their own home. the slots are very realistic too, they even show you the one next to you as you would see in the "real" casinos. it's just pure fun. blackjack and keno are also very realistic too, especially with the soft music playing in the background and animation of the casino rooms. very well done. i love it.

This is a cool CD and I was really interested in the 3 card poker and different types of slot machines. Not as free with the money as they are in Vegas........

The best game to-date

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.

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

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.

My Wife's "Casino, away from casino" pastime

This was a Christmas present for my wife, who had a previous version on her Mac...that was recently upgraded to the PC world with Vista. She loved the old version and likes the new one as well. There are more games and slightly better graphics. She enjoys the "face creator" that lets you personalize the playeers' identities.

Fun Games. Never Get Bored!

I purchased this as a gift for my 63 year old mom for Christmas, along with the Hoyle Card Games 2008, because she is always looking to learn how to play new casino games and she is totally hooked on solitaire. She is not very PC savvy, but learned how to play the games pretty quickly. The help that comes along with the game is useful but may need some interpretation if you don't know the game basics. Overall, it was a very good purchase.

Fun games, but dated looks

I downloaded the full-featured 60-minute demo from Hoyle's own website and loved it, so I came here to buy the real thing. Great selection of games: all the table games, good variety of slots, video slots, and video poker (including multi-hand poker), even mechanical horse racing!

On the downside, the appearance and interface IS very dated. Everything works smoothly, though, and all the game play is here that you'd expect from a trip to a casino. Casual computer gamers and casino regulars will have a ball with this.

Something to keep in mind: This game comes on a DVD-ROM. Some people with older computers are fully capable of running this game, but you may not have a DVD-ROM drive. In that case, you can buy & download this game direct from Hoyle's website.
