Hoyle Casino 2004

"Whalers beware!"

Hoyle Casino 2004 is a game that totally revolves around gambling. For such a simple game it is definitely fun for the whole family although only one person can play at a time.

GRAPHICS---8/10

The graphics in Hoyle Casino are not the greatest ever, but in this style of a game the graphics don't really matter that much anyway.

SOUND---7/10

The sound in Hoyle Casino is great, although at the slots it does get really annoying after a while. Probably the greatest part of the game is hearing what the other people at the tables have to say about you and that is why this gets boosted from around a five to a seven.

GAMEPLAY---10/10

What could be better than to risk millions of fake dollars? Probably a lot of things but still this game is the greatest gambling sim that I have ever played. It has high stakes tables and high stakes slots. There is an abundance of different slot machines and an abundance of different table games. You get to make your own character to play as, which you can make to look almost exactly like you, or you could make them as different from you as possible, you even get to choose what they sound like. Your status in the game is represented by different playing cards. You start off with a green card and have to work your way through pretty much every single color of the rainbow and even others in addition to those. The is Roulette, Black Jack, Poker, Pai Gow, Baccarat, Slot Machines, Video Poker and everything else in between those choices.

At the Table Games you can bet with different chips that all look different, and cooler, as you can bet more which is determined by how much you are able to actually bet, which is the max amount of money that you have.

At the Slot Machines it is very easy to win a lot of cash very quickly, although you have to work up to the point where you can make millions off of one pull. The lowest you can spin on is one cent and the highest is on one thousand dollars.

OVERALL---8/10

Hoyle Casino 2004 is a fun game, but it is very possible that it could get old as soon as you win millions of dollars. This game isn't all that hard but it isn't all that easy either, and so it ends up with an eight.
