Hoyle Official Casino Games is a really nice gambling game! It's a shame that it doesn't have a slot machine, but it contains almost every kind of casino games, including Blackjack, Poker, Baccarat, Texas Holdum, Roulette, and so on, except for the slot. Most follow the American rules, but some games allow players to individually change the game rules before they start. Sound settings allow you to play in an atmosphere like you're at a real casino, or you can enjoy the game while listening to relaxing background music. Also, various face customization and playing with three other AI players besides the player are very good points. (It’s a single-player, so it doesn't mean much, though.)

It was a really good experience for me to enjoy various casino games at home. I recommend it to people who want to enjoy and simulate casino games at home.

Good ol classic casino games

This looks more dynamic and more better than Hoyle's Casino 2001 that I had for my Windows 98. So OK it doesn't have slots but at least the new Roulette game is more better as the 2001 version didn't contain a rotating Roulette wheel and the numbers only can be randomly selected by a search-light.

It seems to be working fine on my side, but I don't know if manually trying to type my bet amount works - even with the pencil selected.

But no from me.

Using the up down arrow to set bets is ridiculous...

I've been playing Hoyle games for over a decade, and this has got to be one of the worst. Unfortunately, all the digital copies of slots, casino, or card games I've purchased in the passed from Hoyle, have become unusable due to the need to digitally verify licenses, and Hoyle no longer supports that ability in those versions. My favorite Hoyle “Casino 2009” is still one of the best, even after Hoyle dropped the online play options. Thankfully, I have a physical copy else it would be useless as well.

Steams Hoyle Official Casino Games seemed like a good deal until I played it. While the games seem playable, I have serious reservations about the “voice acting” of all the characters. Seems they asked the same guy to do all the voices, which is extremely obvious during game play, Unfortunately, it sounds like some kid pretending instead of any kind of semi-realistic acting. The 2009 casino had a good variety of characters with quirks and personalities that were at least believable. This version is so terrible its just not worth playing with any “voice acting” even turned on. So in short. Its ok if you shut off the voices and just play the games. Otherwise, break out the older versions if you want immersion that's a little easier to believe. Gigantic step backwards for a big name like Hoyle.

I should have believed the reviews. Doesn't work right, let me play till I was broke and thats it. It won't let me have any more money. Total waist of money!

Does not have proper widescreen support. The only options are full screen which gives a stretched screen, or windowed widescreen which is a small windowed box on the screen, or nonwide windowed. None of these look good on a 1080p widescreen monitor. The product description should not indicate that it supports widescreen displays.

Update: Reinstalled following the update in June, 2017 and now it is displaying correctly on a 1080p widescreen monitor.

I purchased this game because I've had the last 3 iterations of Hoyle Card Games, and the previous version of Hoyle Casino. I am beyond disappointed. I know they can't bring the old characters I came to know and love back, but these characters all just seem so...lifeless. And it feels like they used only 2 voice actors, one male and one female, for everyone. Furthermore, it's fun to play against an assortment of fun loving, and sometimes good looking, characters. There's literally no eye candy here, whereas with earlier versions, you had Chloe, Elayne, Jack, or Tony for eye candy. And every computer character had a distinct personality. Also, the music just isn't as good. Hoyle Card and Casino games in the past had excellent musical selections, but the music here is...disappointing. There's maybe one good song. Until they go back to the old, successful formula, I'm out when it comes to this franchise.

Buggiest game I've ever played.

I don't understand the negative comments below.

This is a good casino game and I don't see any problems with it.

Some players here mentioned that the talking of the other players annoye them Well you can easily go to "optiones" and mute them or you just mute the whole game and listen to silence or music instead. And they just say on sentence or two, I don't think that this disturbs the playing.
