This product is worse than going to the real casino.
It pays off a high percent of time at a rate of 2 for 3.
Giving it a claim of a high percent of pays. I don't call 2 for 3 a pay. You very seldom get a serious pay-off from this product.It comes up a loss for me. There are more like 50 different slots than 500. You get the same slots over and over at a different play scale ( $1.00,$5.00,.25, .10, $1000), but the play scale does not influence the pay rate. You can play for hours and never get a win over 50 coins. Hours is an exageration because you run out of money (can borrow up to $4,000 at any one sitting)quickley no matter what denomination you use, .10, $1.00 it doesn't matter. Playing the max amount ( what else would you do)with returns of 2 for 3 or 3 for 5 is a bummer. I would not even try to re-sell my disk to an unsuspecting buyer it is so bad. If this is an example of Cardoza's products I can only say to the public "Caveat Emptor".

3.0 out of 5 stars OK, but No Cigar, October 22, 2001

I got this one looking for an improvement from the original. Why do I always do that? There are some new games, but mostly it's the same old stuff. The biggest kicker that sends this to the "I'll play this game once a month" pile is that none of these machines are authentic. There are 2 enjoyable bonus slots (Sweet Dreams, which I've never hit the bonus game yet, and Maze, which I have). There's also a bonus VP game called The Wheel Deal. They tried. I would recommend this to someone who hasn't gone to a casino yet, otherwise, it could be annoying.

1.0 out of 5 stars Extremely hard to get a winning play, September 13, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Avery Cardoza's 500 Slots & Video Poker (CD-ROM)

This could be a great casino game if it had been made fun to play. It is very hard to get a winning play. Payouts are very small.It took me well over 2000 credits to get on the second sreen of sweet dreams. Home games should be fun. Real casinos offer you more wins than this one does. When it takes this long to win, interest is lost and the game is tossed away.
