I have not reviewed this game yet. I am considering to purchase it, but would like a bit ,more information on graphics, and if the video slots offer bonus rounds, and if "Texas Tea", and "Little Green Men" are included in the list.

Excellent Game!!!

Fun for the whole family. Everyone is getting in on the act trying to beat the other with the most money.

Lots of fun and very addictive.

The table games are great and the play is very realistic. The players voices are a turn-off after a while so I play with the sound off. It is a great way to sharpen your skills before a trip to Vegas or AC. I had never played Pai Gow Poker but I learned from this software and look forward to trying it in a casino. The craps and roulette are fun too. I don't play slots in a casino so I don't use the slots on this either.Overall I think this is a good buy for some fun on the PC.

The Facemaker is a total bust

I purchased this game for the use of the facemaker. After all you can play it for nothing on Flipside, but I wanted to be able to use the facemaker. It has to be possible because I see others have used it but it will not work for me. It tells me it has been successfully downloaded but thats about it. It takes me nowhere and I am totally unable to make a face. I consider it a waste of money

Great Game, but some of the finer points of poker are wrong

This is a great game to learn the basics of most of the games, but I have found that some of the rules don't play right in a texas hold'em game. It doesn't count flushes correctly, it breaks a tie with a kicker, when it should split the pot.

not for people who can play

I have a copy of the '98 version of this program. Even though you have to adjust to needing better hands to win than you would in a real game, I can still beat the game a majority of the time after I adjust to it's peculiarities. This one (the 2003 version), however, isn't simply tougher to win against, it appears to be programmed to be impossible. I've played it for hours using all kinds of strategies, sound ones and crazy ones, just to see if I could get ahead. Usually when I would get a great hand and would most likely win, the other player or players would most of the time have better hands. This goes against random probabilities and makes it a joke to even try playing. I found this feature on all the card games. I was looking forward to playing this updated version but am very disappointed. Also, when paying back a loan, which supposedly the game requires, it won't let you. It will only let you take out a loan.

Great game

I have not found anything bad about this game yet. It has worked perfectly and is really alot of fun. The poker tournaments are what I bought the game for and it has been working fine. I personally think this is also a decent tutor to learn the games that are part of this package. I have learned the basic rules and such for the non card based games, which was a side goal for purchasing this software. Overall, it is pretty cool.

A complete and excellent game

Where to start? The casino has just about everything you'd want, including real large debts! They have tournaments available for about every casino card game. They have computer blackjack, poker and multi-game poker where you can play 50 games at once. Even the slots are eclectic. You can also increase or decrease the speed of a game. When playing poker with 7 computer players, being able to increase the speed of the game is very valuable.

I suppose the players talking could be a negative. It gets old after a while, but you can turn those voices off.

All in all, though, I have not seen a better casino game.
