Let's hope for a better casino game for GBA., September 24, 2001
This review is from: Caesars Palace (Video Game)
I had been waiting for this game to come out, hoping for a good casino game for my GBA. I was very disappointed with this title. The slot machine games have dark, blurry and hard to see graphics and it's very hard to win anything. The video poker is badly designed in that you have to press so many buttons just to play one hand and when you do win, you have to wait for the screen to scroll down to the paytable and then up to the credits and finally back down to the playable poker game. The programmers didn't provide for the player to hit a button to skip this scrolling, which makes for very slow game play. The video keno is nothing like a real video keno machine and you have to keep the instruction manual out to figure out how to play. The only game that is well designed and somewhat fun to play is blackjack. If you're looking for a casino game for your Game Boy Advance, try to track down the "Hoyle Casino" game that was made for the Game Boy Color. Overall that title is better & more fun to play than "Caesar's Palace" and can still ... .... To summarize: don't bother with this one.

Non gambler programmed this, or really bad testing....., September 16, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Caesars Palace (Video Game)
I enjoy gambling and work in the computer games industry. I'm primarily a blackjack player, but also like slots and roulette. So, when I heard that I'll be able to play these games on my GBA with this title, I went out and picked it up. Well, I was initially very impressed with the look of the game. Simple and fairly easy to understand. There are smallish graphics that are a bit hard to discern, but overall, not bad. The problems came up in gameplay. The slots games (there are 3) NEVER PAY OUT. OK...there's no real money to win or lose here, so why not make it a little looser. Nope, if Vegas slots were this tight - you'd sue them for cheating. The blackjack game is quirky too. Ever so often, you'll be dealt a blackjack and the dealer will show an ace (at which point you're supposed to be offered to take "even money") well, it doesn't give you that option. Inevitably, he also has a blackjack and you wind up "pushing". Also, I don't think I've EVER gotten a face card or a ten after doubling down (even on an 11). The video poker game of deuces wild also has an odd problem. Several times, I've held a non winning hand and drew a few cards in hopes of building a winning hand....I'm dealt a deuce (wild card) and other cards which actually gives me the winning hand I need (completes my 3 of a kind or straight...), but it doesn't pay out or acknowledge my win. I'm a bit dissappointed in these gameplay problems and are glad its not for real money....except the $ I dropped for it.

don't buy for the slots, October 20, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Caesars Palace (Video Game)
i really like slots (in real life) and was hoping for something like the Hoyle Casino game I have on the dreamcast or the computer. These slots are not very realistic. They aren't even like other video game slots. You can win, you just have to bet a lot, like $100 machines, 3 coins.... (and its not real money, so who cares?). I do like the roulette and the blackjack though. Its not a total loss.
