Reception
IGN, reviewing the PC and PlayStation version of the game, gave it a 4/10 and called "some of the graphic decisions [...] a little perplexing" and the game a "disappointment" musically. They praised the roulette game but criticized the poker AI, stating: "it would have been nice to have a more challenging group of opponents." They called the game's "multitude of options [...]
thoroughly confusing", citing a lack of a tutorial. PlayStation Magazine criticized the game for a lack of innovation and poor sound but praised the graphics as "sharp and clear" and the controls as "easy to understand and use". 5 out of 5, calling it "almost too squeaky clean" to emulate the feel of a real casino, instead recommending the game for "gamers under 18 or people who realize the inherent pitfalls of gambling for real money".
