Gameplay

The objective is to win money at a casino. The player begins with $2,000. Games include blackjack, slot machines, roulette, horse racing, keno, video poker, and red dog. The player can talk to non-player characters (a feature omitted in the Japanese version), who may offer advice and clues on how to live the casino lifestyle.

The game also offers $100 scratchcards that players can keep scratching to try to win more money. However, if a picture of a bomb is uncovered, the ticket is void and all winnings are nullified.

Reception

Sega Visions, reviewing the Sega Genesis and Game Gear versions, praised the accuracy of each casino game presented in Caesars Palace, "the name of [which] is total gambling realism", and concluded that "If you like to gamble, this is a way to learn the ins and outs of various wagering games without taking a financial beating." VideoGames: The Ultimate Gaming Magazine highlighted that "For those who are into gambling, this is probably a very rad game." In his Complete Guide to Video Games, Nathan Lockard gave an overall rating of 11 out of 30, stating "Other than a good variety of games, this game has terrible controls, which make it very frustrating to play."
