Vegas gambler
Vegas gambler is exactly what the titly suggests, you play the part of a person who has 500 dollars to bet with and where better than to do that in Vegas. There are four games you can play: video poker, roulette, black jack and ofcourse the slots.
The games play pretty much like you would expect but let´s run through them.
– Video poker lets you play poker on a machine so there’s no bluffing or anything, you just put in your coins and let de machine deal. Hold the cards you want and deal again, if you have a pair of jacks or higher then you win otherwise you lose.
– Roulette is where they put roll a ball and you can bet on any number from zero to 36 and on things liks odds/evens, series of numbers red/black etc.
– Blackjack is a cardgame where the object is to get a blackjack which consists of an Ace and a picture card giving you 21 points right away. You can also win by getting more points than the dealer and going over 21 which busts you right away.
– The slots are pretty selfexplainetory, you put in your money and pull the lever, get three in a row and you win. Putting in more coins will give you more chances of getting a line.
If you happen to run out of your 500 dollars you can opt to start over or get some more money which is basically the same thing anyway. The four games are pretty standard fare I have to say, nothing special but they´re not too bad either. Give it a go if you like this sort of thing but don´t expect anything you haven´t seen before.
