Shot full of bugs. Graphics poor. Fun level, zero.
Not enough info provided about the content of the product at purchase time. I have Hoyle card games and it is wonderful, but sorry to say casino and board are not up to par.

It's ok but if you have an older version don't waste your money there isn't much difference.

I have many different casino games and Hoyle has the best characters to interact with the play.The 2003 version is much like the previous version except the graphics are better.I have a good time just listening to the players'comment as the games progress.This is definitely one to add to your collection.

Have not reviewed this game.

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.

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.

I recently saw a television show about Las Vegas and what the strategies were on playing the various games offered there. I'm not a gambler by nature, but the show got me to thinking about the possibility of actually beating the "house" at various games.

I didn't want to drive all the way to Las Vegas to find out, and I didn't want to drop a bundle of hard earned money to just experiment either, so I was searching for an all-in-one computer game that would allow me to indulge my fantasies as a high roller without the risk of losing my shirt, my family, my car, my dog...

Enter Hoyle Casino 2003. The game is well laid out and the action is very realistic. There are an abundance of video poker games, video slots, real poker, real slots, roulette, craps and a ton of variations that I have heard about but have never tried. Each game has a nice tutorial that explains how each game is played. If your computer is fast enough, you'll even see the dealer deal out the cards. I was able to pick up and understand games that I have never played before such as three card poker, Pai Gow poker and craps.

This game is very well though out and you don't have to log into the internet to play. Everything runs from your computer. In my search for casino software on the Internet, practically every one that I saw was an online version. This was not what I was looking for. I just wanted a stand alone version. If you just want to past a few minutes away without getting heavily involved with online gaming, I would say that Hoyle Casino 2003 is just the ticket for you. It runs off of your computer, but it also gives you the option to play online as well.

Most professional gamblers say that blackjack gives you the best odds of winning. I'd have to agree because I've already won $15,000 at the blackjack tables. Ahhhh, if only it was for real...

A+ Gaming Fun

Hoyle Casino by Sierra is great gambling fun. I learned how to play Pai Gow Poker in one week-end. It was easy once I started using the tutorial and in-game strategies to improve my play. I'm ready for VEGAS baby!

It also comes with the FaceMaker program so you can create your own characters with a variety of different features and personalities. BUT, the fun really begins when you find the secret cheat that provides an unlimited cash flow!!

Hi to whom may concern,
I have been very frustrating and I have been asking same question to every software store as they couldn't answer if this will work for MAC OS X system because I have the old verison that says go back to system 9. Will this 2003 works for X system? Please advise...

Hoyle Casino is a great way to learn the rules and have fun with a whole lotta different casino games.

The opening montage makes me smile every time and really get in the mood for Vegas. The "Facemaker" was an unexpected bonus - a fun way to design your own characters that look just like you or someone you want to create! Then it's off to the casino, with realistic sounds (although the background track might slow you down after a while, you can turn it off), colorful realistic graphics, fun with the dealer (love those giant hands) and other players. Or you can turn all the other players off and play by yourself.

this game is easy to learn, fun to explore, and full of so many games. Your really get your money's worth and it is great practice too for anyone who plans to head to Vegas for the real thing. (To answer the question posted earlier, the slots designs are all unique to Hoyle as far as I can tell, but follow the standard slots rules.)

Don't start this late at night or you'll definitely be losing sleep.

Very Entertaining

Let me start this review by reminding you that there
a lot online games on internet.We go there, hoping to have fun,and most of the times we do but there are a lot of problems there we find: abusive players,cheaters,slow internet connections,a numerous errors etc.
With Hoyle Games you can have a lot fun without a single problem.
MY computer does not "fight" with this computer game.
I never get any errors or cheats.
I never got my computer frozen as from internet or other cd-rom games.

So...if you really need a Casino video game - chose Hoyle's as these people know excatly what we need.
Praise for Hoyle's Casino Games.
