Casino Mega Collection

I gave this a very qualified thumbs up. If you don't mind plonking down a few bucks for some functional casino games, this fits the bill. If you're looking for good graphics, a sleek UI, informative tutorials, or entertaining characters, look somewhere else. Pros: Several popular casino games including mini baccarat, Caribbean Stud, Pai Gow poker and craps. They all work. Some of them are a bit hard to find in casino collections. Cons: Although all the features in the program work, the program itself looks like the 8 and 16 bit games we used to get out of hobby computing magazines in the 1980's. It's functional, but it's not pretty. Conclusion: If you're looking for something to idle away a few minutes, this is not bad. If you're looking for a quality casino game, you haven't found it yet.

I wasn't expecting much, just a reasonable simulation of casino games but this game is terrible. Unregistered clicks for betting on top of which you can't see how much you bet in any table games which makes for a very frustrating experience. I knew the graphics were basic and that's fine but when chips aren't correctly represented on a table that's no longer graphics that's poor design. Each game does have it's own settings but the selection of what can be changed seems random (not being able to disable card totals in Blackjack for example) It really wouldn't have taken much to make this a reasonable game but it almost feels like it was designed by people who read the rules for each game but have never played them...

The more I play this the more frustrated I become with the AI. Numbers and actions change predictably when you bet large amounts. I don't understand why you would not just let the numbers be random, why they would add a function where as you bet more the odds change drastically and noticeably. Had double zero come up 4 times in 6 turns in roulette betting $50k, this is not isolated. Why you would go through the trouble of programming a game to do this is beyond me when the "normal" casino odds will mean you will eventually lose anyway. This game is also very buggy I would suggest giving it a pass.

Games are okay, but too simplistic, instructions are unclear, I wasnt able to find out the game rules of all games, and some games dont work properly. The ones that work fine get boring in about 10 minutes or less, because of the simplistic graphics, lack of features, and so on. These games might be interesting for people who enjoy classic casino games, but who dont care about the simplicity of the gameplay, graphics, lack of helpful instructions and so on. I personally got bored way too fast and although I dont regret purchasing, I'm still quite disappointed.

All I get are 9's 10's and now and then an ace or left bower. When I do get a great hand the other team is dealing and I can't even compete.

Simple but covers most of the important casino games. The RNG might seem a little generous sometimes. I only wish I had the same luck in a real casino as I do playing this. Simple betting strategies really pay off which might give the player a false sense of how it would go in a real casino. I like how you can adjust things like table min/max. The ability to even customize the cards is a nice touch. Of course there is no 'casino' feel when you simply pick games from a boring main menu. Presentation overall is pretty good with a lot of voiced dialog on table games. But sound effects are only okay and after awhile you'l tire of the canned dialog and shuffling sounds. There is no option to OFF bets in craps without having to pull them down which would be better. There is also no kind of celebration for big wins on table games. It would be a nice touch if winning over a certain threshold was acknowledged. At least in slots the jackpot wins make a bunch of racket. There is tournament poker as well as progressive slots and keno, Overall well worth it to brush up on games and betting strategies before hitting the real world casino this weekend. Recommend!

A collection of casino games with poisonous gland removed (no micro-transactions), so basically it's just tabletop games. I was comparing it to new Encore game (which tried to revive Hoyle series, but looks like not really tried). It was hard to pick which one is better, but in the end I think this one have a bit more points. The games are voiced-over, which is a nice touch. Another good thing is it has tips for most of the games, which is good if you don't know some particular game at all or think that you can win in roulette in a long run... And there's a card counting helper in BJ, those who know what this is will probably enjoy. Some reviews say that it have unfair random. Like when you bet higher amount or have a good hand you have less chance of winning. I haven't noticed that. I suppose they've just been too attached to outcome. Kinda funny. Make a real experiment - gather some statistics and see if there's a correlation between something.
