Summary
Hoyle tabletop games for home computer have been enjoyed by many; the series continues with Hoyle Casino Games, this time for Power Mac.
Casinos, notorious for their 'high-spend, high-win' ethos, have often discouraged players from participating in the real thing. But Hoyle Casino lets the player experience an artificial casino experience without the risk of losing large amounts of hard-earned cash. The extensive range of Casino Games includes Blackjack, Roulette, Poker, Slots, Craps and even Horse Racing.
While not as simple as many other tabletop games, Casino Games has strong strategy elements; 'Do you know that he knows that you know?' and so on. But deciding whether or not to take a risk or fall back is what casino games are all about. As any casino member will tell you, you have to bet money to make money.
But players should be aware, regardless of the game you’re playing, the opposition will be unforgiving and at times frustrating. However, beating such challenging opponents is deeply satisfying.
If you don’t feel up to the challenge in single-player mode, you can always bring a friend in to participate in the fun.
As far tabletop casino games are concerned, Hoyle Casino excels. There’s no more complete game than this.
