  1. The game features a tutorial if you so desire, and they make it a nice learning curve as you work your way up the casinos. Nice friendly interface that takes minutes to master.
  2. A classy collection of four types of poker as well as blackjack, slots and video poker. The game's only real downfall is requiring multiple cartridges for multiplayer.
  3. Sure it costs a bit more than a deck of cards, but it also provides you with digital opponents, dealers and even a couple of games you cannot play solely with a deck of cards.
  4. The poker play is solid, but the AI players are predictable. [Feb 2005, p.117]
