Well, I hate to say it, but I don’t care for this one. The music for one thing, after about a minute and a half it starts setting your teeth on edge. The game features nudges, holds, dice to double your winnings, but every time I played my mouse froze somewhere on the game board and that meant that I was limited to whatever I could access via the keyboard, until I discovered that for some reason my brand new Wacom USB tablet, pen and cordless mouse were what wasn’t working-my old mouse worked fine! Now why that should not work in these games, when they work everywhere else is beyond me, but I thought I’d pass it along-if you have a similar problem!

However the biggest thing that I didn’t like about it is it’s too hard to win. I played a half a dozen rounds, [which you start at $1000 and your bet is $50-and in the shareware version you can’t change the bet] and I never won anything. At least at Vegas they have cherries, which allow you to win a little.
