This software package makes you feel like Las Vegas came to your home.

Blackjack, Craps, Keno, Roulette, Video Poker, and Slots are represented here. Video Poker and Slots machines are very tight, just like you would find in a real casino.

The Blackjack and Craps table comes with a typical Downtown Las Vegas Dealer, sarcastic, a few bad jokes, you get the picture. The craps table is similar, however it's a french woman.

All games have a teach mode in the background, it activates when you don't make the optimal choice. I really enjoyed this feature, and have also been able to pick up a few more wins at a real casino from tips obtained here.

Another nice feature is the statistics section. Here you find out exactly how you played, won, or lost. The information is very detailed, and provides you with your strenghts and weaknesses. The following statement is why I rated the software 4 stars instead of 5.

I was somewhat dissapointed with the strategy book included. It's very basic, however sound principles and strategies are offered. It offers you more advance courses (at an additional cost) in beating the casinos for the games listed above. They also give you their web address for the casino and publishing co.

Good luck, GE

I couldn't believe the review I saw that said this game is slow and the graphics "unsophisticated." I've played Casino, both in it's original and it's 2000 incarnation and think it's just great.

Maybe it's the focus of the games. Casino focuses a good game play while giving you the option of learning strategy by putting it into "instruction mode." The computer animated characters are quite fun and will occasionally surprise you!

And best of all Casino doesn't make winning easy -- it's very much like real play. Sometimes you win, and sometimes you lose but the house ALWAYS wins.

Don't waste your money. The games are slow and the graphics unsophisticated. I am throwing it away as soon as I finish writing this review. I have several Hoyle Casino (Sierra) videos that are much, much faster, a heck of a lot more fun, and definitely worth the same price I paid for this garbage. I actually bought the triple Cardoza "Beat the Casino" videos in one set that feature Video Poker 2000, Casino 2000, and 100 Slots 2000. They are all way too slow for me. I hated the layout...ugh. I didn't like anything. Buy Hoyle Casino instead. I have been playing it for two years and love it.

Loved the simplicity of this game and enjoyed learning how to play video poker and other Vegas games. This game gives you help on every move. I found it informative and lots of fun. Hope Avery offers it on Vista.
