Reviews for Video Poker (#5565)

These gambling type games will largely depend on your taste for them. I don't play them in real life but I do like a good gambling game, it's just too bad I've played many better ones compared to this. It's very slow paced and so it'll become a chore quite quickly. There are video poker games that look and play at lot better than this, especially when this game has a problem determining what colour it's cards should be. Right now I have a 2 of Hearts which is just black with a smudging of red on the middle and a Queen of Hearts which is entirely black where it should be red, which makes reading a flush all that more needlessly difficult. I will fold on this game thank you very much.

This game simulates the Video Poker games found in Casinos everywhere. I myself made a version back in '89, inspired by one of my visits to the Estoril Casino, the famous WWII spy hangout Casino.
The game itself is rather faithful to the ones you used back in the 80's and 90's.
Not so sophisticated of course, and graphically simpler, but does the job very well. The main problem of course it's the laying out cards in each play, this makes the game seem slower.
