Slots & MultiPlay Video Poker review:2 stars (Disk required) - No where in the product description does it say that the disk must be in the computer to play this game. That is an unacceptable requirement for me. It should be plainly stated in the product description, then we could make an informed choice.5 stars (WONDERFUL!) - This game is very realistic. A great source of fun for hours of entertainment. Easy to use. 5 stars (Great training for the real thing!) - Lately there have been a number of shows on TV regarding Las Vegas - the hotels, food, shows, shopping --- gambling! After viewing them I thought it would be fun to visit. Naturally I would want to try my hand at gambling, but certainly don't want to lose my shirt!
With that in mind I ordered "IGT Slots and Multiplay Video Poker". Since slots are pure luck I decided to focus on the video poker. With video poker you can increase your chances through making the correct card decisions. The software loaded quickly and I selected the game "Jacks or Better" to train on.
The game is neat because not only can you play as if you were in a casino but you can also make card choices and the system will give you a score based on what an expert would do. If your choice is not the best you can look to see where you made your mistakes. The sounds and graphics are excellent. Grab a beer or glass of wine and you created your own private casino (without the cash of course).
By the end of the first day I was playing a game that I had never heard of before with 92% accuracy! I felt like I could handle the real deal in a casino.
The software includes 50 of the best slot machines like Wild Cherry, Hot Peppers, Haywire and Five Times Pay. Many video poker games such as Joker Poker, Bonus and Double Bonus. Blackjack and Spanish 21 are also included.
The instructions were good but as a complete novice there was some terminololgy I was unclear on and hence had to do a quickie internet search. But overall I feel its very good training!
So next time you are in Vegas and someone hits a Royal Flush at Jacks or Better hopefully it will be me. Even if I dont hit at least I won't feel like a total rube thanks to training with "IGT Slots and Multiplay Video Poker" AND my tight hand on how much I am willing to lose! |
