5.0 out of 5 stars A must-buy for anyone who loves slots!, January 12, 2003

This game is TOO much fun! It's by far the best PC slots game I've ever played. I don't even know where to start. The variety of games is amazing -- there are so many different machines here that when you first get it, you'll probably spend a long time just flipping through them all seeing what they are.

The video slots are just like many of the best and most popular ones you find in the casinos. Some of my favorites are "Soap Opera," "Blondie Double Feature," and "Movie Star Betty Boop." "Popeye" is another very entertaining cartoon-based slot. There are so many slots with bonus rounds on this disc that there's endless variety of game play, and you never know what's going to happen next. This is the best PC game I've ever seen as far as duplicating the experience you get in the casino. A lot of other home versions of casino slots are watered-down versions with very limited sound and visual effects, which for me are at least half the fun of playing the game in the casino. I love the little touches, and they're all here. One of my most enjoyable real life casino experiences was playing a "Soap Opera" machine at Mandalay Bay that was paying out like mad, and now I can experience that sort of fun right here at home (though, sadly, there are no waitresses bringing free cocktails here).

One of the best features, and one that's sadly lacking on many other PC slot games, is that you have the choice of playing either realistic payouts or ultra-high payouts. The former is more like being in the casino, but the latter makes it even more fun because you get lots of very high scatter pays, bonus wins, etc. Most other home games are either set at only the realistic or only the ultra-high payout levels, so it's great that you get to choose here on each game. It adds even more variety to an already amazing package. And it's a really nice change of pace from some home games in which the slots are so tight that they're no fun at all (hello, "Monopoly Casino"!).

It's great fun if you love playing video slots with bonus rounds in the casinos. The fact that it's not real money means you can play Max Bet on everything, which makes it much more fun but wipes out your bank account in the real casinos. It's also a better assortment of new games than I've ever seen in Vegas, and you don't have to put up with the smoke, the empty hoppers, or that inevitable person who wants to sit down beside you and yammer inanely.

I can't say enough positive things about this game. I'm definitely going to go out and get some of the other casino simulators by Masque. One warning, though: this CD is ridiculously addictive!

5.0 out of 5 stars Slots From Bally Gaming-Masque, November 4, 2002

This is our third purchase from Masque. Having both the slots version and slots II we were anxiously awaiting the launch of their latest casino gaming software. We were not disappointed at all.It installed easily on win2000. We haven't had any program crashes either. The graphics are terific, the games are just like the ones at the casinos. Our favorites are the Video Slots with the bonus rounds! We were pleased to find even more video slots on the Slots from Bally Gaming. If you are contemplating about this software, get it you will be glad you did. Then you'll be rushing out to buy Slots II if you haven't already done so.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent product, September 19, 2003

This is yet another winner from Masque,if you enjoy playing slots its a must buy. When the wheels spin they dont blur as in so many other slot simulations, but the symbols are visible as the wheel spin, a nice touch. Also you can choose realistic payout, or a payout rate that cant be expected in a casino, thereby ensuring that both the exact simulation aspect as well as the game fun aspect is taken care of. The various games are replicated in almost exact detail, no other can provide well known games done so well as Masque.
Unfortunately it seems that both Bally and IGT has become reluctant to let Masque use their machines for future game collections - the next one out will be of a few Bally machines and then machines made up by Masque. Unwise decision by Bally and IGT in my mind, these collections is a great way to familiarise yourself with the various machines out there.
