Since I'm not very interested in gambling, this was one of the last games in the Crazy Nick's Software Picks series that I tried. As expected, it was just a gambling simulator and nothing else. I tried a few times to amass the $10,000 needed to break the bank, but, as I'm not very good at gambling card games, I never surpassed $2,000, and had little desire to keep trying.

Good
- The game competently enforces the rules of blackjack, jacks or better video poker, and a primitive slot machine.
- The elevator music, although dull, is actually pretty fitting for the setting.
Bad
- The slot machine is pretty dull. Many far more exciting slot machines were in casinos at the time, and the developers could have modeled it after those.
Ugly
- There isn't much to say about this game. As with most gambling games, you either have to be extremely lucky, or be sort of lucky and memorize a bunch of complex strategies. I don't find either of these options enjoyable.
