Guide Review - "Casino Empire"
"Casino Empire" has its flaws, but so does every other game. While waiting for cash to build up, watching the patrons play the games and tinkering with the house edge will help pass the time away. Management sim fans will be disappointed in the lack of features, and how easy it is to build a steady business. However, if you can get past a few missing features, there's a good chance you'll enjoy "Casino Empire."
