Save your money!!
I had Hoyle Casino 2006
program and loved it but I wanted a newer version. I thought it would be
better than the 2006 version. I couldn't wait to play it. I don't know
why they changed it so much. It's no fun at all.
Save your
money!!

Hoyle is a BUST!
I should learn to listen to
other users concerning Hoyle's Casino games. Just received the
pre-ordered 2011 Casino advertised as Windows 7, Vista, Xp, (even Mac
OS). Tried to install on my new 18" laptop Windows 7--was told it wasn't
compatible with 64-bit. Tried again and again and it just froze and sat
there. Tried it on a Windows 7 desktop--same 'ol same 'ol!!
Same
your money unless you can do a better install than I was able.
"Best Casino Game", according to Hoyle
This casino game by Hoyle has
some good features, and while it is a cut above many others, I wouldn't
call it "the best". For best, in my opinion, you want Reel Deal casino
and slot games. They top the line in reality, graphics and simplicity
for players. This game by Hoyle is a reasonably good game, but it does
have some foibles.
The graphics are nice, but rather outdated. I
think Hoyle kind of cheaped out on this aspect of the game. Game
selection is varied although limited. The reaction time of virtual
dealers is slow. There is no option to play head to head with the dealer
or croupier, so there are always other players at the gaming tables,
and I find them annoying after awhile.
The "sports and keno"
option offers only horse racing and keno, and the horse racing takes
forever because they actually run a whole race with three turns, and it
is slow. This coupled with marginal graphics (horses have no jockeys,
and their movements are very wooden) insures I won't likely choose to
"go to the races" much, if at all.
The slot machine offerings are
rather dismal. The multiple line games are still one armed bandit type
slots, not like the multiple line video slots offered at real casinos
and in other casino programs. They do allow a range of price choices
from twenty five cents to a thousand dollars. It seems like they are
pretty tight slots (I made thirty pulls without a single win during one
game), although I did notice that art imitates life in that, as you
spend more you win a wee bit more. In real life, dollar slots tend to be
a bit looser than quarter slots. Experts in the real world of gambling
and gaming say, with today's technology, slots cannot be set tighter or
looser, but it is computerized, so I can't see why it couldn't, at least
in theory, be manipulated in real life or in computer gaming.
All
in all, Hoyle Casino is a fairly high quality game when compared with
other brands on the market. I have been spoiled by Reel Deal. Their
graphics are superior and they offer many more gaming choices, but to
date I have only been able to find their games for pc. Given that there
aren't a huge number of choices in games for Mac owners, Hoyle beats
most other competitors, but it is a different story when it comes to
games for PCs. As for being the "best" casino games, that assessment is
strictly according to Hoyle.
