Card game ups the ante when you opt for Casino-style play

by Peter Cohen, Macworld.com

Platinum Solitaire is certainly more limited in scope than some other solitaire games for the Mac—it has six games, including “traditional” solitaire (Klondike), Golf, FreeCell, Pyramid, Spider and Yukon. Compare that to hundreds you’ll find in Mondo Solitaire () from Ambrosia, and you mind find the selection lacking. Where Platinum Solitaire ups the ante—quite literally—is in a casino environment.
