I was so excited. Even though it was 11:00pm I had to run
through a couple of games. I loved it, it is so real almost like being at the casino. I am staying home tonight from Bingo just so I can go through most of the games tonight.

Simply the best

Having played virtually every slot title that has been produced. I will say that this title is by far the best one I have seen. The graphics and game play are unsurpassed. By far the closest you will get to the "REEL" thing. I was first introduced to PhantomEFX with the purchase of Reel Deal Slots and Video Poker Vol. 1 which in it's own right is one of the best games released but, with the release of Reel Deal Slots Vol. II they have really raised the bar. This is THE game to beat. And with the release of future titles from PhantomEFX they will only be improving on an already excellent product. If you love playing the nickles at the casino then this is the game for you.

Couldn't agree more!

I agree, Anddrew Higgins, that this is by far the best game out there of its genre. I've been waiting for www.Amazon.com to list it, so I can put my review in its proper place. Some of my reviews for this game have been mentioned on the original Reel Deal and Video Poker and combo pack pages; so I'll still reiterate what I said.

Just when I thought that they can not get any better, they do. Of special interest is the bonus games, that simulate existing machines found at Slot Parlors everywhere. Some of the games seem like a remake of volume one, but actually have enough new twists and angles in them to make them attractive. And oh yeah, they are really loose! Ran my wad up to $6,000,000 in only about 4 trips. And the famous Phantom Trophy Room. This one is a hoot with a verbal description of the prizes. Don't forget to let them know when you get all the prizes. Of particular interest is that one of the machines is actually a video bingo game. Quite good and different. But play for small stakes; haven't cleaned up on that like the bonus slot games.

Despite my rave review, there are some down sides. First, as with most Phantom EFX games, this takes up a whopping 480 MB of space on your hard drive. So be sure you have room. Also I noticed that after a while, and after I sign out of my E-mail, the game tends to bog down and run funny. And it does take a while to load up between machines. But when it runs it's the best.

Anothoer downside is the poker games. I finally figured them out, but find it hard to win on. I actually like the Masque Multi-play Video poker a lot better. [By the way, this is included in the new re-worked IGT Slots and Multiplay poker.] Even the original Video Poker in Reel Deal 1 is good., maybe they should have included some triple play, 5 way, and 10 way into that.

But go for it, you'll be glad you did.

This game is too easy. you always win. for some reason it also resets my screen to 800x600. I've got XP home, maybe it's different for other systems. I regret spending the money for this. If you buy it I hope you have better luck! hagar101

Phantom Does it Again

I have the first edition and I thought "gee, can they outdo themselves?". The answer is yes! This game rocks. I've never seen such details and variety of bonus games anywhere else. I especially love the "Grave Robber" game, which feels much like IGT's "Addams Family" slot, as well as "Treasure Hunter" and "Spin to Win" which feels like Williams Gaming "Winning Streak" reel spinner. There's also a few "free spins" bonus rounds (check out "Pharoah's Prize")...you can win big and live large. My bankroll is over 200 million in a few visits (the key is you play the 45-coin machines at $$..play max coin and cha-ching!)..not that I would ever do that in a real casino (hey 45 nickels per spin is huge for me, but I have scored a few big hits doing that in Vegas). Get this game. Yes, it can run funny at times, so be patient. Also, clear your calendar for a few hours per session. Check their website, a new title will be out later this year.

Best Slot Game Ever - Lots Of Fun Bonus Rounds

I have played a lot of computer slot games in my time, but Reel Deal Slots II is by far the very best. Almost every game has a bonus round or special play feature. No two games play the same, which I found amazing. This game has payouts that are unrealistically high, but that is pretty easy to overlook. I just enjoy the fun of playing each game and getting to the bonus rounds. Who cares if I now have $60,000,000 I can have fun dreaming.

Extremely FUN!!!

Like Real Deal Slots Nickel Alley; Vol. 2 Features 9, 15 and 20 line Video Slots, most with Bonus screens. Unlike Vol. 1 they make up a third of the games. This CD ROM includes regular 1, 3 and 5 Line Slots and also Slots with Bonus features. Slots include Phampton 7s, ?????, Crazy Wheels, etc., Slots with Bonus include Cheesy Wheels, Golden Goose, Treasure Tower and Treasure Hunter, etc., The video Slots with Bonus screens include a Pig Game, A Carnival game A Pirate Game, A Graveyard Game, A Bowling Game, An Egyptian games, A Spy GAME and more. All the games have wonderful 3-D looking graphics and Sounds. You can play all the games at five cents, ten cents, a Quater, fifty cents, a Dollar, five dollars, 25 dollars, 50 Dollars, 100 dollars, 500 dollars and at one thousand dollars. This CD-ROM also includes a Bingo game and 6 poker games. The game also includes a Casino club Card when you can gather points for playing and then with those points you can buy merchandise, etc., some are very funny like you can buy a Nuclear Submarine. This game is a bargain and is extremely fun.

One BIG Problem

Sound, graphics, and animation are perfect. The bonus screens are great on the nickel slots. Problem: the machines are too loose!!! Like another reviewer said, the game is way too easy and that makes playing somewhat dull. A Vegas Casino would go broke in about a week with payoffs like this. Still, worth playing with a morning cup of coffee or when you need to take a 10 minute break from something else during the day.

Mindless good fun

I buy quite a lot of computer slot games and this is one of the best I've seen. The standard 3-reel slots are just average, but the animated slots with bonus rounds are a cut above most other products. Some of the graphics are photo-quality and the animation is imaginative. The only thing I didn't care for was some of the music that accompanies most of the games, but I found out it could be shut off. If there was a casino that had half this many good games, I'd be there all the time. There is a wide variety of slot types here including free-spin games, symbols that turn the row they are in wild,a 20-line game with a wild bonus symbol that migrates through each space, and some games with bonus rounds that involve shooting rifles, darts, and cannons. I've already got my money's worth out of this title and don't foresee becomming bored with this game for a long time.

The Best

I have two other slot machine games, but this one blows them out of the water.

The nickel games on this disc are lose, but lots of fun. There are catchy background tunes with many of them, and the subdued background noise of other players in a casino is very cool; it feels like I'm in a real casino!

The dollar slots are much tighter. I don't find them to be nearly as engaging as the nickel slots. My only (mild) complaint is that the dollar slots are the usual 3-reel kinds; none are the "video" type.

This is an incredible collection of games, with convincing action, exceptional graphics, and wonderful sound effects.
