Vegas Jackpot Gold

By Adrienne Robillard, Macworld.com - January 1, 2001

Beachware's Vegas Jackpot Gold is, in a nutshell, virtual Vegas. Featuring 250 casino games and 200 slot machines, this is no run-of-the-mill gambling hole. (For those new to casino entertainment, each game includes instructions.)

Background noise is appropriate to every screen: the cheesy bar, the down-and-out pawnshop, the ominous wedding chapel, and the flashy gift shop. And the game is engaging -- when you play roulette, the dealer spins the wheel in front of you; if you tie the knot with a bad mate in the chapel, you're encouraged to choose another. One downside: the game does not allow for multiple players. Will you win or lose? Keep playing to find out.
