Guide Review - "Hoyle Casino 3D" Review
The game starts you out in the lobby with the ability to create a character with a selection of heads, hair, and clothes. Once you have your character, now it's time to get gambling. You have your choice of table games, video slots, slots, video poker, and poker. Each type has multiple variations and gambling limits. You can decide to lose your money more slowly by playing the five cent slots or quickly by betting 1000 dollars for each spin.
The game does it best to simulate playing with real people, by giving other players a unique look. Their gestures and sayings seem unique for the first few hours of playing, but there is a limit, of course, as how to how many phrases and hand motions the developers can include. Table chatter can be turned down or off once you get completely sick of them.
If you are simply looking for a game that allows you to play a wide variety of slots and poker, "Casino 3D" is an option. It may not be the best option for it's price (for it's initial release of $30). There are other poker/card games that are a lot cheaper and do the job of putting you in a card game just as well.
