Save your money!!1 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!! Chuck Hoyle is a BUST!1 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 Hoyle3 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 The graphics are nice, but rather outdated.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.
