Masque Does it Again

Way to go, Masque! Slots 2 is definitely a must have for slot enthusiasts. Having played many of the Bally machines in casinos, these replicas are as close as you can get without losing (or winning) real cash. I love the Betty Boop themes. The artwork, sound effects, and payouts are great. I really love the video slots. 99 Bottles of Beer and Play the Market are my favorites. I did hit a top payout on Boxcar Bonus, and the flashing blue "call attendant" screen is realistic. I'd only wish that these machines were in a casino envrionment rather than just going from machine to machine, but other than that, this is perfect. I agree with the other reviews: Bring out WMS gaming (Jackpot Stampede, Boom, Winning Bid, Jackpot Party, etc) would be fine additions. Too bad Masque can't include Monopoly slots, which is already published (and not even close to what Masque can do).

The reigning champ of slot games - period!

If you want authentic recreations of actual slot machines - this game is the current best of the best. Masque Publishing has worked out a deal with Bally's Gaming to include their Betty Boop machines as well as some of the video slots - most popular favorites seem to be Hot Hot Hot and 99 Bottles of Beer. The games are exact right down to the belching grandma in the beer game.

Other slots include Flaming 7's, Fire and Ice, Blazing 7's, Double Jackpot Blazing 7's, Money Poppers, Boxcar Bonus, The Platypus Game, Ball of Fire, Roaring 20's, and In the Money.

Most of these are your traditional three-reel slots, but it's refreshing to see the well-done video slots included. It's unfortunate that video slots from heavyweights such as IGT and WMS Gaming aren't included, but my gut's telling me that's not the fault of Masque Publishing. Too bad, because IGT and WMS are missing out on a lucrative licensing opportunity, not to mention a chance to get players comfortable with their games before spending real money in Vegas.

To the reviewer who says this isn't as good as the original "Slots" -- wrong! Although it was a decent recreation of your basic IGT three-reel slots, the graphics in this game are much cleaner and the sound quality is a thousand times better.

Hats off to Masque Publishing --- great game! And by the way, if you like video poker, their Multiplay Video Poker game is excellent, too!

Video Slots and Betty Boop!!

This is soooo much better than Slots 1. The graphics on the first were good, but the screen was too small (they tried to get the whole machine on your viewer). I love the addition of the multiline video slots, my personal favorite, with their cool bonus rounds. You even keep your money, something missing from the first game.

All the Betty Boops are here (even some I've never seen in Mississippi and Atlantic City). My only complaint? It doesn't go "boop boop be doop" like the ones I've played.

As to the complaint about payoffs, there is a "high pay" option. Although I haven't hit the progressives as yet, I have done quite well with payoffs. If you love slots and video slots, buy this program. It is well worth the money.

I hope this begins a trend with the first Slots being IGT and this one Bally. May I request WMS for the next collection? I definitely want the Stampede reeler and their adorable multiline slots!!

Bravo, Masque!!

Just like being there

The wife and I live 200 miles from Vegas and we try to go about twice a year. The slots are just like the ones in the casino's,the pay off is very realistic. We especilly like the five reel nine line slots, what is nice is you can bet the max and really have fun. I did play the flamming 7's, and won $57,500.00 what a blast to bad it was make belive.

Wow we had played their previous version and had thought that was fun, but this sure topped their old version. New games, more video slots with those terrific bonus rounds. If you like casino gaming you'll love this software. It will bring hours of entertainment to you and your family. Their latest release(Slots From Bally Gaming) is also a five star hit. They all have realistic graphics and are easily installed on windows 2000 and windows 98.

A Sure Winner

Masque has once again provided us with real slots like one finds in actual casinos. For the first time they have included 9-line 45 coin machines and "linked" progressives that one can really win (I hit 2 million on Born to Boop!!!). I think Slots 2 is even more fun than the orginal Slots program. Both Slots and Slots 2 are well worth the investment if you are an inveterate slot machine player. If you can't go to a real casino, this is the next best thing!

Excellent Gambling Experience

I live in Nevada and play the real slot machines often. I've also played inferior PC slot machine games for years, but Slots and Slots II by far is the closest to the real thing. The symbols are realistic, sounds, etc. I hope the future Slots III game will contain Boom, Frog Prince, Cleopatra, and other 5 wheel video slot machines, and video poker of course. Slots II has very realistic play.

What an "AWESOME" PC game!!

Love it!! It's from Masque and I knew I'd love it. I look at it this way...why should I go to a casino and lose money, when I could just stay home and play the same slot games (as in a casino) in my livingroom? I lose no money, but get the thrill of playing a replica of a "real casoino" slot machine . Every game one this CD-ROM is at the casino. Same look, same reels and same payouts. The only difference is the sound. And that's great too!
I really think Masque Publishing has a great product and I hope they can continue to produce awesome PC slot games. I am a loyal customer to them and avid IGT and Bally game player, both PC game and at the real casino.

The best slot game ever

I just received this game from Amazon, and of all the many useless slot software on the market, THIS IS THE BEST...IT EVEN PAYS YOU MORE THAN ANY OTHER. IF YOU LIKE WALL STREET, BE SURE TO PLAY 'PLAY THE MARKET'; WHAT A FUN GAME///AS A SLOT PLAYER, THIS ONE IS MORE LIKE BEING IN THE CASINO ITSELF, without the real cash...
A great purchase for holiday giving to someone who loves to play the lots...IT IS THE BEST
