I bought this game because I love to play the Monopoly slots when I am in Reno, but hate blowing my money on them. This game looks just like the slot machines, but has a few problems. First, the slots go into bonus game mode less frequently than in the casino, which is rare to begin with! And it is annoying to have to bet, then spin, every time! I wish it would remember my bet. It has been a fun game, though. I find myself playing Keno and Blackjack tournaments a lot now, and I've accumulated over $1 million playing those. But keep in mind, this game is only fun for so long... just like in the casino, I guess. The main plus to this game is that after you've paid your $30, you aren't spending more money! One note on installation: I have an iMac with Mac OS 9, and I had to upgrade to 9.1 in order to install this game. It was a major pain, but I would have had to upgrade at some point anyway, so not a big deal. To anyone with a problem installing the game, I found Customer Service easy to get a hold of, but they weren't able to help me, as my problem was my OS, not the game.

If you are just looking for casino games with the Monopoly twist, this might be for you.

Unlike one of the previous reviewers, my copy installed effortlessly and perfectly on my iMac G3 350. No problems there at all! Also, the program runs well and plays as I am sure it should.

The only reason I don't like it is that it doesn't play many of the games according to actual casino rules or options. MONOPOLY CASINO has it's own way of doing things, so if you are attempting to recreate Las Vegas in your living room, I suggest you opt for the Hoyle Casino game.

Having just received this version.. after waiting 6 weeks because of some production problem, it is easy to see why we had to wait. It is still not perfected. First of all, you need "Quicktime". No problem. Download it. Now you get a message saying you need to install "Sound Works, 4. or higher. I have gone to apple help, mac help, everything. No Sound Works. But...this imperfect game gives you a hotline number and a email/web help contact. Now the probem really starts. It has now been two weeks and I have YET to have a call returned or an email answered. And should you get through...you are right if you guessed it...you get "disconnected". I am welcome to any idea on how to get this game working. And if I am doing something wrong..I'll never know because the "helpline" does not exist.Certainly would appreciate input from anyone that has this working on a Mac. Buyers beware. Anything for a sale I guess.

I bought this game thinking it would work for my MacBook Pro. However, while it says it will work with any OS 8.1 or later, it does not work with mine. When I tried to install it, I get a message saying I do not have the "Classic" system that it requires to use.
