Before buying this software, you should consider placing a twenty-dollar bill on a non-flammable surface and igniting it. After about ten minutes you'll realize that the programmers for this product must have been under the age of twelve. Any one over that age would not have to time left in life to wait for the game to proceed. Slow, illogical, repeated "are you sure you want to do that?" windows, opponents without the slightest skill (and no options for altering them). I could go on for another hour or two, but this program isn't worth any more of my time.

I don't have a lot of games for my Mac, so I thought this would be a cool treat. I figured that I could take a break from work every now and then and play a bit. But, this game doesn't let you save, at least I can't see how it works. It also is very limited in the play. I can't figure out how to get to other higher limit tables. It claims to have an online mode, but when I click that, nothing happens.

I'm guessing that I have a broken game, but I wouldn't take the risk on getting another one. And at the price, it's not really worth the hassle of returning.

I was expecting what I found on the itnernet at a website called Hard Rock Casino. This softwareis nothing like what that website had. Also, it didn't even have all the games it said it had.

Lesson learned. Don't buy casino games on Amazon.com.

cons: The program incorporates a lot of the attributes found in casinos. If they could just incorporate some cigarette smoke it'd be real authentic!

Hard Rock Casino incorporates music and graphics to simulate a casino experience. It is a safe way for a beginner to become familiar with 8 common casino games and how to bet in a risk free environment before the next trip to Vegas. It is also has plenty of challenges to keep an advanced player's interest. Play Keno, Baccarat, Poker, Craps, Black Jack, Slots, Roulette or Video Poker starting out in the 50's era as a character of your choice. You get the full era benefit including clothes and music. There are six rounds to play in a game and each round takes the player into new decade with the accompanying attire and tunes and into higher stakes and more options to play. The image below is a game table from the entry level of the 50's decade.

The "HELP" section contains information about the program and what options are available to the player up to and including playing online. Each game has a good set of instructions. However, if just beginning, the instructions will probably have to be reread several times before the game can be played with much skill. That is the advantage of learning the basics from this program. The cash is imaginary.

Hard Rock Casino requires OS X, 64 MB of RAM and 50 MB of free HD space. The program also includes a free Palm version as a bonus.
