Before I get to my review, I want to point out that the version of the product I received from my May 8, 2010 order is slightly different than what is described on this page as of May 13, 2010.

First, I love Tailgate Party and one of the big reasons I chose to buy this was because the description indicated that Tailgate Party was included. Unfortunately, the version that arrived does not include that slot game so, beware, if that's a deal breaker for you.

Second, while the description says it is only compatible with Windows up through Vista, the version of the game that arrived is marked on the box as being compatible with Windows 7 as well. I have installed it on our Win 7 PC and it works fine (after I downloaded a patch... see below).

Now to my review of the product that arrived. It loaded fine, but when I first tried to run it, it locked up a few times. I checked the readme file on the disk and it said to check for updates on [...]. There was an update on that page so I downloaded it and the game runs fine now.

These truly are the same slot games you can find in casinos. Rich colors and sounds. If you like them in a casino, you'll like them here. The risk of losing money is removed which can make it more fun than a casino. However, the hope of winning money is also removed which may lessen the fun for some people. Personally, I still find the bonus-type games (eg Texas Tea, Latino Machino) to be fun, but am pretty bored by the traditional machines (eg Triple Diamond) when there's no chance of winning real cash.

Here is a full list of the slot machines included in the version I received:

Bonus-type slots:
Benny Big Game
Five Times Pay
Latino Machino
Leopard Spots
Little Green Men Family Reunion
Lucky Lion Fish
Rich Girl
The Great Turkey Shoot
Texas Tea
Uncle Sam

Traditional slots:
Balloon Bars
Diamond Fives
Double Diamond
Jackpot Jungle
Leap Frog
Red White & Blue
Spin Til You Win
Ten Times Pay
Triple Diamond
Wild Cherry

This is a good collection of slots, both reelspinners and videoslots. It has given me much fun, the machines are meticulously reproduces, including soundeffect. You see the reels spin in a realistic way, they just dont blur like in other slotgames. Most importantly to me is that these are reproductions of genuine slots, not made ups slots, makebelive slots - but the slots you actually find in casinos. It gives the game an aura of authenticity that no other company can offer I think. Thanks to IGT that allowed their machines to be reproduced like this by Masque - a trust well placed in my mind. Just be aware that many/all ? of the reelspinners on this collection have been published earlier by Masque. What I dont like ? I miss the opportunity to enlarge the slotmachine so that the reels fill the screen. A positive thing is that you can choose between realistic payout percentage, and an unrealisticly high percentage. Also the way you add more credit to the slot you are currently playing is a bit longwinded and tedious, could have been made simpler. But all in all a very nice collection, and if you like slotmachines and the fun they can provide I believe you will enjoy IGT Slots: Texas Tea.

Some of our favorite slots are in this package. My favorites are Texas Tea, Lucky Lion Fish and Rich Girl, my husband likes Tailgate Party and Latino Machino. All games are very well reproduced in every detail, sound quality is excellent, you can win on these machines. We have Vista. The software was very easy to install, runs great and you don't need to keep the CD in the drive to play (I refuse to pay full price for a game, then have to keep the CD in the drive like I am doing something wrong, how backward and annoying). For me this is hours of entertainment for little money and well worth the price. Very highly recommended!!

IGT has done it again. I bought this because it had one of my favorite slot games on it; Lucky Lion Fish.
I was also familiar with Texas Tea and found it fun to play.
In fact ALL the games are right out of the real casino.
But I MUST warn you. Sit down at your computer to play Benny Big Game or Little Green Men Family Reunion and you might as well give up what ever you thought was your life as your family, friends or boss may never see you again.
This collection of IGT slots MUST be bought if you love their games as much as I do but do so at your own risk. :)

I bought this slot game specifically for "Little Green Men - Family Reunion" and was thrilled when I got it and installed it. The game plays like the "reel" deal (sorry, I couldn't resist) and takes the edge off when you want to play but either don't have the bankroll or don't have a casino close by. This PC/Mac game actually can take the edge off.

The slots are extremely realistic but the sounds are not EXACTLY replicated. For example - with "Little Green Men - Family Reunion" triggers a bonus round that plays the song "We are Family" ... this is not so. My guess is that they cannot do the EXACT same things as they do on a casino floor and perhaps they could not get the rights for the song. But let me tell yah, I was THRILLED to have this game on my laptop(s) to get a little Vegas feel and work through the playing itch.

Lots of fun if you like slots. :)

I live in Las Vegas so I know all of these games very well (maybe a little TOO well). I was very excited to receive this and I loaded it up right away. WOW ! talk about fun and excitement. I usually play Texas Tea and Uncle Sam at my local casino (only in pennies) now I can play at home at $[...] a spin and make some real money !! These games are very enjoyable, although as I read in another review, I have to agree that Masque put in a few older 3-reel slot games that I have on my other IGT discs, but to be honest I very rarely play these type of slots. I love the video slots with the bonus rounds. If you purchase this I guarantee that you will be entertained for hours and it is definitely worth the price. I cannot wait for the next round of Masque/IGT slot games ... ENJOY !!!

My 87 year old father's favorite thing to do is hit the casino slot machines. When my mom was alive, they'd make a trip to Vegas at least once a month. Since she's passed away, my dad's been staying with us. We just happen to live in close proximity to a couple of Indian casinos and my dad's now a regular at these places.

I purchased Texas Tea and loaded it on my computer to give him something to do. Needless to say, he loves it. His favorite game is Latino Machino, which he says reminds him of the Edgewater in Laughlin NV because it was his favorite machine there and he won a lot on it. Now grandpa's at home more, saving money, but still having fun.

Still... It would be nice to find a good PC billiard game to keep him from hustling at the senior center pool tables.

i purchase this casino slot game and its all like in the casino real gaming graphics are awesom my favorite is texas tea but the rest of the games that come with them are good also i love this game especially when you put it on full screen nice keep up the good work i give it a 10+.

I love casino slots, and this disk works well and I have an older computer(5 years) with Windows XP. It plays alot like the real thing except for when you win the sound of money ringing up is shorter and not quite the same. The visuals are clear, the sounds are good on the machines, and I love the side games that come up within play. This was a nice idea for when you dont have the money to go play the real thing or it is a rainy day and you need something to do!

As far as I know this is Masques latest casino game release. And it is tons of fun. Easy to install and play, has real casino games on it. And you only have to load it into your computer once instead of every time you play. I love playing Texas tea in the casinos now I can do it at home and not have to spend the money to play. It also has many more real casino games. I highly recommend this game. And if you us Amazon.com's super saver shipping it may take a little longer to recieve but is well worth it, you do not have to pay the $3.99 and up for shipping. great deal all the way around.
