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".

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.

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.

As far as the video poker portions are concerned, I am so addicted that I am buying the game for a relative. I have a huge bankroll and can easily make $1-2000 in a couple of hours! I love the games to the point I have to force myself to stop sometimes. I don't do as well with the slots but never did in Vegas either. I wish I could parlay my bankroll into real cash! There do seem to be some defects within the game program itself. For example, one night, whenever I got a full house, the game only recognized three of a kind. That only happened once though. Another time, the "expert" gave the same advice all evening as if he were on automatic pilot. Lastly, there is one game in particular that gives me an error message every other day and promptly kicks me out of the casino. If I open the game file again, I can avoid this problem by playing a different game for about five rounds. Otherwise, I LOVE this game and highly recommend it!

The slots simulations on this package are pretty good for the way slot machines used to be. However, in the new century a different breed of slot machines has appeared at the casinos that leave these simulations by the wayside -- nickel slots are best at the casinos! If you have played the newer nickel machines, these will bore you to tears. If you haven't... try to get to a decent real-life casino soon. You won't regret it.

THIS GAME IS THE BEST GAME I OWNED. I PLAYED IT CONSTANTLY UNTIL I LOST IT SOMEHOW. I AM ORDERING IT AGAIN BECAUSE I MISS PLAYING IT. THE GAMES ARE UNIQUE AND FUN AND NO TWO ARE ALIKE . CERTAINLY NOT BORING. (THEY ACTUALLY LET YOU WIN). IT'S GREAT TO WIN WITHOUT LOSING AND PLAYING IN THE COMFORT OF YOUR OWN HOME. I GIVE THIS A++ AND HOPE I CAN HANG ON TO THE NEW ONE.
