Real Deal casino Shuffle Master is a great game if you are a table Player or want to learn Table games. The Software features The Table Games 6-5-4 Poker, Baccarat, Big Six, Blackjack, Craps, Catch A Wave, Dragon Bonus Baccarat, Face Up 21, Hardway blackjack, High Five Poker, Let It Ride, Oklahoma 3-Card, Pai Gow Poker, Pai Gow Wow Bonus, Red Dog, Roulette, Sic Bo, Triple Shot Bonus, WAR, and also includes Keno and 6-Card Bonus Bingo and 8 different types of Poker; 5 Card Stud, 5 Card Draw, 5 and Draw (jacks Or Better), 7 Card Stud, Chicago Hi, Chicago Lo, Texas Hold-Em, and Omaha. The Players are cartoonish but the games Play very real and true to form. The Software features A first Time Player instruction for each game and a set of rules. This is a great way to learn games you don't know. The Game also comes with a Player card (like real casinos) where you gather points to earn prizes in the game, also there is a combination room where you use points and winning tournaments, playing a certain amount of hours, etc., to game a new prize. Its very fun and you get your moneys worth out of the game going though all the tournaments. In the tournaments there are 4 levels of each game and then a special grand master tournaments after you compete 75% of the one game tournaments. Even though I prefer Slot games on the computer I had a lot of fun with this Shuffle Master software and learned to play a lot of table Games. The Game also has 5 regular type slots and 5 Video with Bonus games slots which are Fun, it features Press Your Luck.

This game is so cool. I love Phantom EFX, and they outdid themselves big time with this game. The tournemets are a blast and the games are top notch. All of Shufflemaster's biggest table games are here (I love 3 card poker), and some cool new slots as well. Check this one out and be prepared to play for hours! If you need new slots, so to their website and download a new slot every month. It's worth it.

The first thing that really struck me was the size of the casino floor. It's pretty impressive when compared to the Hoyle games, and you can move throughout it without taxing your CPU. There are plenty of card tables, and the manual is extremely informative, containing not only the instructions for the games but also the odds. This is the kind of game you'd want to play, to hone up on your skills before going to Vegas. Roulette and craps seem to be the standard fare. The only disappointment here are the slot machines, which seem to alternate between being only three-line and being complex as heck. You should be able to enter into a groove (more like a trance) when playing the machines, but the only thing I entered into was a state of boredom.

I had installation issues with my Windows Vista laptop, which was disappointing given the fact that I chose this game specifically because it was Vista compatible. It took me probably about five hours to install, and was able to do so only after I found the appropriate patches and codecs in the Reel Deal forums.

I was suprised how easy it was to set up and now my mom and I play it all the time. I was having a bit of trouble with the use of the video poker games included with it but now it works perfectly.

Simply put, this game has more bugs than the Amazon jungle. Basic bets, like craps place 6/8 for $6 pays $6 on this game, the odd are 6 pays 7; Unable to make place bets on craps working or off, etc. I sent Phantom a laundry list of their issues and was informed that nothing is wrong with the game.

Moral of the story, this company is based in Iowa. They clearly have no clue about casino gaming rules. I suggest they stick with corn and soybeans, and everybody else find a program that is accurate to the rules of the games.
