Freezes up every few games. Takes too long to switch between games. Is not very fast and soon became boring. Please buy another game. You will be glad you did.I owned this game for less than ten hours and threw it away.Buy something else.

Many games are wrong.

Do not buy this game if you want to learn craps and/or blackjack. Within 1 hour of playing, I experienced 4-5 incorrect payoffs at craps (even with the patch installed from phantom's website). Furthermore, when playing blackjack, it would allow me to split a ten and a jack, something most casinos won't let you do. Until they get the games right, I'd stay away.

I received Reel Deal Casino yesterday. Game took forever to load. I played approximately 2 hours and the game froze twice. I had to shut down and start up again to continue playing. Graphics are good. Did not get to view all aspects of the game as yet but I am quite disappointed in this game because play is interupted by freezing. If you do not mind the bugs go ahead and buy it.

The software has to load every time you change a game. It is so slow even with the cd in. You can not run the game by itself. The play is unrealistic and hard to understand what to do when the game screen is on your computer. We bought it for a gift. We are glad we tried it before we gave it. We are not giving it. We are now searching for another game. If i had a choice to give no stars i would.

terrible! save your money

O.k., I realize that gambling in a casino is usually a losing proposition. The casino has the edge, and though you may win from time to time (and occassionaly hit it big) the casino, over time will always win.

Well, with this game it's almost the exact opposite, the casino almost always wins - every hand.

Take blackjack for instance, the dealer has a five as the up card? You can just about guarantee that their hole card is a 4, 5 or 6 - and they hit and get a 10 for 19, 20 or 21 - that will happen 90% of the time.

Also, it seems to be inconsistent with the rules it uses. Sometimes you can split tens, sometimes you can't. Sometimes you can double down, other times you can't. It's hard to figure out and a bit maddening to be fair.

I got bored playing this rather quickly - I got tired of playing 21 because the dealer is always on a "lucky" streak. I got tired of playing poker because the best you can get is a pair - though your opponents always seem to get 2 pair or a straight.

Overall, I'd have to say it's a terrible game and a waste of money.

I'd rather go waste my money at a casino than to buy this game again!

Dealer Wins No Matter What

In this blackjack game, the dealer consistently beats the odds. I don't mean sometimes, but 90% of the time. To learn and actually play the game, one has to be able to count on cetain outcomes a certain percentage of the time. This is not programmed to do that. Perhaps it was made by someone who wants all of us to stay away from casinos! Believe the computer chart of the odds (available on-line and in books). While it leaves the casino about a 1/2% edge in a multi-deack game, it is only that. Not with this game, though.

If you want a real DUD get this product

This product was a real DUD. Not very satisfied. The banter is monotonous and play not that realistic.

Wow! I just got "Reel Deal Casino Quest" a few days ago and I can't stop playing it! This is, without a doubt, the best gambling simulation for PC ever! I don't know where this company Phantom EXF came from, but I played their "Reel Deal Slots and Video Poker" and after enjoying it for months, I knew I had to have the Casino. I was not let down. Everything is almost perfect, great graphics and sounds, and the games are so fun. The opponents seem to play great strategy too. Plus they let you earn trophies and prizes as you progress to become the "Grand Master" of the casino. Finally a point in playing these games. Did I mention the slots in Casino alone are better than everything elso out there except the other slots from this company? Every casino game is in this package is great, and they have tuttorials to teach the games you don't know too. This one has it all. I'm removing Hoyle casino and Microsoft tonight. If you love gambling software, buy this! Also, I've played it tons and have had no crashes at all. This is my new favorite game!

I primarily order games for the slots. The "Quest" has 11 slots, which can be played for various coin increments. Two have bonus screens. Some of these slots are included in the original Real Deal Combo Pack, however, the graphics are far better the original. There are many other casino games included in the "Quest" and the CD comes with an instruction book. The book is helpful in learning to paly the new games and advance from beginner to the grand Master Tournament. There is also a Bingo game that combines slots with bingo. In all the package is great. It is like a guided tour through a casino.

GREAT PLAY - Still has bugs in system...

As expected from Phantom FX this is truely a GREAT Game. The play is fantastic, I bought it for the new full motion slots and the multihand video poker. Both are very realistic, except for the payouts, which are set for fun and not reality. The game does have a MAJOR DOWNSIDE. While playing game I was fine, but when trying to return to the lobby, the game locks up and I had to restart my computer. I played for 10 hours this weekend and it happened about once an hour. I am looking forward to Slots II coming out in September.
