Howard Marks Video Casino Games
Howard Marks Video Casino Games by Hasbro Interactive allows you to play 15 different casino games in a unique setting. The high quality graphics and sound offer the players a very entertaining experience.
Howard Marks and his company People Think Too are the creators of several video poker and casino games found in the casinos today. This is the first time most of these games are being offered on a CD that you can play at home. There fifteen games in four different categories Blackjack, Poker. Slots and Keno.
There are two different versions of Blackjack. The first is the traditional game. The second version is "Side Action 21." This game is about to hit the casino floor as a table game. It allows the player to make a side bet on the outcome of the dealers hand. The CD also offers four original slot games and two versions of Keno.
Video Poker players will be able to choose from seven different games. Three of these are Big E, Pick 5 and 3 Way Poker. These three are popular casino games being offered in a surreal new setting. Big E and Pick 5 have a nautical flavor and 3Way Poker is called Carnival Poker because of its funhouse graphics. You can try Big E and Pick 5 with simpler graphics on the People Think Too website.
Expert Tips on the proper play of the games can be activated in the options menu of each game. The CD also offers a valuable strategy guide that can be read or printed out to teach you how to play. This guide is designed to provide you with advanced strategy tips to use during your game play. You will learn how to read strategy tables for the game offered. There is an explanation of how to read the odds and return tables.
One of the most interesting features of the Video Games CD is the interactive multiplayer capability. You have several options for playing with other players. The first is to launch the Microsoft Gaming zone. You can join other player online and play in free tournaments. You can also play over the Internet, a network or LAN with one of the players hosting the games. There are complete instructions for setting these games up. You can play the game modem to modem if you choose. There is a chat box that can be used for communicating with fellow players during multiplayer games.
I found the Howard Marks Video Casino Games CD very entertaining. I think the graphics and sound are exceptional. The Strategy Guide is most informative. This program is not for the person looking for a straight Blackjack or Video Poker Tutor. It is designed for those looking more for entertainment and interactive play while enjoying some casino games.
