5.0 out of 5 stars A bargain!, October 6, 2003

This one of the best simulations of actual slot machines made by IGT (including popular favorites like Double Diamond, Balloon Bars, and Sizzling 7's.) Keep in mind that this is a revamp of their original "Slots" program released earlier, so if you own the original, you may want to decide if you want to buy this just for the improved graphics and sound as the machines are the same.

In addition, this offers a dead-on simulation of the multiplay video poker machines IGT has also made famous. It helps teach you how to play video poker correctly by providing hints on the correct cards to keep and discard based on mathematical probability. Just remember you won't get these hints in a casino. You also get decent looking blackjack and Spanish 21 games and Masque does a pretty good job of showing you the correct plays for these games as well.

If you just want to play for fun, you'll have a blast with this program. But if you're planning a trip to Vegas and you'd like to put a little time and effort into making your bankroll last longer, then this is money well spent.

Hope the review helped.

Lately there have been a number of shows on TV regarding Las Vegas - the hotels, food, shows, shopping --- gambling! After viewing them I thought it would be fun to visit. Naturally I would want to try my hand at gambling, but certainly don't want to lose my shirt!

With that in mind I ordered "IGT Slots and Multiplay Video Poker". Since slots are pure luck I decided to focus on the video poker. With video poker you can increase your chances through making the correct card decisions. The software loaded quickly and I selected the game "Jacks or Better" to train on.

The game is neat because not only can you play as if you were in a casino but you can also make card choices and the system will give you a score based on what an expert would do. If your choice is not the best you can look to see where you made your mistakes. The sounds and graphics are excellent. Grab a beer or glass of wine and you created your own private casino (without the cash of course).

By the end of the first day I was playing a game that I had never heard of before with 92% accuracy! I felt like I could handle the real deal in a casino.

The software includes 50 of the best slot machines like Wild Cherry, Hot Peppers, Haywire and Five Times Pay. Many video poker games such as Joker Poker, Bonus and Double Bonus. Blackjack and Spanish 21 are also included.

The instructions were good but as a complete novice there was some terminololgy I was unclear on and hence had to do a quickie internet search. But overall I feel its very good training!

So next time you are in Vegas and someone hits a Royal Flush at Jacks or Better hopefully it will be me. Even if I dont hit at least I won't feel like a total rube thanks to training with "IGT Slots and Multiplay Video Poker" AND my tight hand on how much I am willing to lose!

5.0 out of 5 stars It's Finally Here!, June 18, 2003

By 

JT (Harrisburg) - See all my reviews

...If you liked all of the Masque games so far, you'll definitely want this one. And with the bonus Multi-play video polker built in, its definitely a big bargain. That's right, 2 of their previous games for the price of one. And new and improved.. Along with Slots 2 and Slots by Bally, this one completes the set. This one is pure IGT slots, games like Wild Cherry, Double Diamonds, 5 and 10 times pay, Red White and Blue , etc. All the ones you stillfind at your favorite slot house.

A remarkable improvement over the original IGT slots program.

UPDATE:

Just when I thought I had all of the Masque games that there were worth while having, along comes the new all video slots that hit the shelves today. From what I saw of the previoews, this is another winner, except that there are fewer actual Name Brand (Bally?) machines, and some that Masque have made up. but all with bonus rounds. So if this is as good as their previous efforts, it should be a winner.

One good thing about the Masque games are the good quality realistic graphics and animation; yet at an efficient low running 32 MB. So they run and play great. [As an aside, I admit that as good as these are, Phantom EFX makes aneven better set of games, with two more hitting the shelves at this time. Ironically, one is an all video collection (nickle alley), and yet another new casino with new machines. They have licensed to Shuffle Master, another slot maker. However, for the same price, these may even be better; except that at a cost of a whopping 128MB memeory (it will run with 64 MB, and on my 96 machie, but slow loading between machines (RD2). On top of that, to handle all of the sound , grahphics, animation, and the most realistic experience, it also takes up 900MB on the Hard drive. so if your machine can handle it, great. do you think there is some PC slot game war going on? Hmmm.]

My only complaint about all of the Masque3 games is that i wish they could be played for higher denominations. But then, I would never go to more than a five dollar machine in an actual slot parlor anyway.

Keep up the good work.
