Gamble in this virtual casino and never lose a nickel, March 18, 2003
I recently saw a television show about Las Vegas and what the strategies were on playing the various games offered there. I'm not a gambler by nature, but the show got me to thinking about the possibility of actually beating the "house" at various games.I didn't want to drive all the way to Las Vegas to find out, and I didn't want to drop a bundle of hard earned money to just experiment either, so I was searching for an all-in-one computer game that would allow me to indulge my fantasies as a high roller without the risk of losing my shirt, my family, my car, my dog... Enter Hoyle Casino 2003. The game is well laid out and the action is very realistic. There are an abundance of video poker games, video slots, real poker, real slots, roulette, craps and a ton of variations that I have heard about but have never tried. Each game has a nice tutorial that explains how each game is played. If your computer is fast enough, you'll even see the dealer deal out the cards. I was able to pick up and understand games that I have never played before such as three card poker, Pai Gow poker and craps. This game is very well though out and you don't have to log into the internet to play. Everything runs from your computer. In my search for casino software on the Internet, practically every one that I saw was an online version. This was not what I was looking for. I just wanted a stand alone version. If you just want to past a few minutes away without getting heavily involved with online gaming, I would say that Hoyle Casino 2003 is just the ticket for you. It runs off of your computer, but it also gives you the option to play online as well. Most professional gamblers say that blackjack gives you the best odds of winning. I'd have to agree because I've already won $15,000 at the blackjack tables. Ahhhh, if only it was for real...
