- Table Games is fun
- This set of games is addictive, especially if you are competitive and you enjoy playing pool. The games are cool to play and the talk back feature is great, I think. You can throw a pie in one of the characters faces. lol. The maximum pool has several versions of pool, like cutthroat or snooker, which I haven't seen in many games. Plus, if you think your good at chess, this will make you really think before you move.

- Very Good Value for the Money
- This is the second game set I've bought from Hoyle and I am once again very satisfied with it. This particular set gives you 18 games (plus a bonus poker game), so you're bound to found at least a few that you'll want to play from time to time.
The graphics are really nice and the interactive players are a nice touch. On the downside, I wish the game would allow playing against other players on the Web.

- Cheaper than Losing in Vegas
- I find the Hoyle Casino 2004 game remarkably diverse and charmingly addicting. Yes, the CD must be in the drive for the game to work. Pity the pirates.
The games seem very Vegas like and it's enjoyable to try out many of the options I would never have the guts to play in a real casino. The computer players can be amusing, but unlike other reviewers I find them dumb and unlucky. I can routinely beat them in Poker (and that's the best way to rack up lots of money quickly). To the other reviewer who felt the computer players were biased: Pal, learn when to fold!
I did find the "talking" feature to be really insipid. Hoyle needs to hire someone with talent to script the other players, so I think for the future talking computer players could be a real riot. (The drunk, the flirt, the unintelligible foreigner, etc.) And the silly "Dealer" makes comments no real deal ever would, "Player loses!" Fortunately you can turn that nonsense off.
Overall: Very fun, well worth the price. Recommended.

- Newest revision of Hoyle Casino is the worst yet
- Part of the problem with Hoyle Casino has always been that the odds have been heavly weighted toward the computer players. With this new version, it is even worse. Playing in a poker tournament, the computer players are constantly getting 3 of a kind, full house, straights and flushes, while you never seem to be able to catch these. And when you do get a good hand, they somehow end up with a better one. Also, if I was playing at a blackjack table in Vegas where the dealer was continuously getting 20 and 21 every single hand, I would leave that table. I would recommend that you go somewhere else for a casino game, this one is terrible.
I wish that I had been able to play the game somewhere before I bought it, I never would have!!!
Two thumbs down
