great concept bad gaming [Posted on 2003-12-30]
The game is very well set up with features of a casino sim game never seen before. They give you competition which makes the game realistic. You can purchase other business' and then merge properties in order to make a huge casino. You can send hitmen to other properties and reduce traffic by killing all visitors. This then allows you to buy that property cheaper. The negatives of the game is too much micro management. Your bouncers tell you a fight is going on, but you physically have to ask the bouncer to make them stop by click with you mouse button. If you don't your bouncer only watches. So you could be working on your 3rd casino and are constantly being pulled away from it. 2nd bad thing, the casino games do not earn you much money as they do with prior casino sim games. Very hard to make a buck. I remeber being in Vegas and speaking to a Pit Boss and he told me that the Nickle slots make so much in profit that it covers all casino expenses and the rest is profit. this clearly isn't the case with the game. The game also has many tendancies to freeze (new computer). Great graphics too much micro management. Themes of casinos are also boring. Wish it had an editor so that we could upload a casino like the Bellagio, MGM etc. If you get the game keep in mind you will get pulled away often due to fights, cheating and other petty issues with the game.

It got boring within 3 hours. [Posted on 2004-03-08]
The game has a good idea, but theres nothing to it and after a little while its extremly boring. I wish I didn't buy this game.

Be Careful.Making an addiction. [Posted on 2005-02-10]
I played this game in Ýstanbul-Turkey and I loved it. You are establishing a casino,running it (which is difficult)and hiring hitmans and mafiosos....Ýt is not repeating itself and after you play it you will look for this kind, but frankly the bad part is the sleepless nights.

Fun and Almost Addictive -- but Buggy! [Posted on 2005-06-28]
I just purchased this game because my family had been playing the demo for a while and really liked it. On the demo, the sound would come and go but we figured that problem would go away once we bought the full version. I actually ordered the full version right here off of Amazon. What I got was the full software that still has sound problems. In addition to that, the game will only save for one person. One saved game per household? That's just not working out.

The objective of the game is to build a successful casino, meeting game goals along the way. You can purchase and set up gambling tables, slot machines, bars, dance floors, movie theatres and more. You also manage personnel and give them raises and bonuses as need. Another factor of the game is watching the clientele to ensure no one is causing trouble. When trouble is spotted, you send a bouncer or guard over to fix the problem.

This game has a lot of promise, but the bugs make it difficult to enjoy. Add to that the fact that the user guide is TERRIBLE -- it doesn't even show the system icons. I keep getting a bullhorn blinking over top of things. I have no idea what it means, but there is no icon chart in the documentation to help me figure it out.

A dissapointing sucess [Posted on 2008-04-18]
While this game certainly was entertaining, it was so ridden with small petty problems and mechanic issues that it diluted the entertainment to the point it felt like a lousy job and not a fun game. The main problem with this game is the incredibly huge focus on cheat/troublemaker and HITMEN! For some reason, the casino industry can only be a success for you if you send a hitman to your competitor, shoot the place up, then laugh as the fixed costs drain them into bankruptcy as the police keep the asino closed for investigation... wow fun right? Wrong, it was a terrible frustration to sit and watch an entire floor just sit there turned off over and over as you try and bleed out a competitor. My advice for anyone who wants to play a great casino game is to get Vegas Tycoon (aka Vegas Make it Big) as it is by far the best game in the genre. Following that (if you already have it) is probably Hoyle's Casino Empire, its all disgustingly downhill from there.
