Cheaper than Losing in Vegas

I find the Hoyle Casino 2004 game remarkably diverse and charmingly addicting. Yes, the CD must be in the drive for the game to work. Pity the pirates.

The games seem very Vegas like and it's enjoyable to try out many of the options I would never have the guts to play in a real casino. The computer players can be amusing, but unlike other reviewers I find them dumb and unlucky. I can routinely beat them in Poker (and that's the best way to rack up lots of money quickly). To the other reviewer who felt the computer players were biased: Pal, learn when to fold!

I did find the "talking" feature to be really insipid. Hoyle needs to hire someone with talent to script the other players, so I think for the future talking computer players could be a real riot. (The drunk, the flirt, the unintelligible foreigner, etc.) And the silly "Dealer" makes comments no real deal ever would, "Player loses!" Fortunately you can turn that nonsense off.

Overall: Very fun, well worth the price. Recommended.

Great Game

I don't know what everyone is complaining about! First of all everyone complains about having to have the disk to play. How hard is it to it the open/close button on your computer. If any future post can tell me 5 games that have come out in the past year that doesn't have to have a cd in the drive to play, I will take it back. Secondly, everyone complains about the terrible odds. I have only seen 1 4-of-a-kind in the 10 tournaments I have played(2 of which I won.) I have turned the original 5k into a million dollars! I got this game in the 75% off bargain bin at Office Depot which made it $5. It would have even been worth the $20. This is my first Hoyle casino game so previous versions could have been better and I not know about it, but I think the game is fantastic!!!!!!

I own every hoyle game Sierra ever came out with and everyone that you play, you must insert the cd for it to work properly.
if you don't insert the cd, the voices & music does not work.
I see know problem putting in the cd. I love these games and thier characters keep them coming!

Addictive!

I enjoy this game very much, as do others to come to my house. This particular box I recently bought for a friend was not compatible with his laptop PC for some reason. It works fine on my desk computer though.

This game is both fun and insightful. It actually teaches you how to play casino games without loosing your own money. When my sister-in-law and I are getting ready to go to a casino with our other friends, we use the game to help us bone up on some of the rules. It helps us to not lose all our money.

I love this game!

I found this game extremely addicting. I play this all the time. The characters crack me up although you do get used to hearing the same lines after a while. It would be nice if Sierra had updates so their characters would have more variety of things to say or new characters to add.

I have no problem playing with the cd inserted because ALL the other games I own (Sims, first person shooters, adventure) are like this so I'm used to it.

Since I don't own any other gambling games the only thing I can compare this to are the online types. To me this is a whole lot more fun.

This set of games is addictive, especially if you are competitive and you enjoy playing pool. The games are cool to play and the talk back feature is great, I think. You can throw a pie in one of the characters faces. lol. The maximum pool has several versions of pool, like cutthroat or snooker, which I haven't seen in many games. Plus, if you think your good at chess, this will make you really think before you move.

Better than I thought

I have the other versions of these Hoyle games, mainly I got new ones because they had new games. This one did not so I avoided buying it.
I got the puzzle games and hated it because of the display style everything seems to tiny and you can't make it more full screen like you could in the old versions. I was really hesitent to buy this but I did anyway.
I am enjoying it. The "Hoyle Bucks" makes the game more interesting as you try to do certain things to make the money plus collect the backrounds and such. (now you are "paying" for card back and backrounds that used to be "free") I like the talk back feature. There have always been characters I wish I could tell off and now I can ;). If that gets old I can always turn them off.

So if you are new to Hoyle Card Games then get this. If you have previous versions then only get if you have the extra money or these features sound tempting to you and you dont mind having to have the cd in the drive to play.

This is a good collection of games for a break in the day, or a brain challenge to keep you on your toes. It's quick, fun, and provides a variety of choices for you to spend a little "play" time.
