Tasking you with restoring your name after a high-profile crash and burn in the slot house, Vegas Casino Cruisesets you the challenge of taking on a total of five different competitors across a series of gambling games - all, for reasons undivulged, as you sail the seas in a cruise ship.
Those five games – Slot Machines, Video Poker, Roulette, Blackjack, and Baccarat – are then split into several subsets, with a total of 12 different mini-games on offer in all.
Your goal is to win more money than your opponent in the rounds on offer. For example, play a game of classic slots, and – taking it in turns – you and your rival each get five pulls of the lever.
Before each round you can raise the stakes by changing your bet, while it's also possible to hold one or two of the three dials before your second spin in attempt to score a matching line of three.
Controls are simple, the games themselves well-animated, and each of your opponents manages to inject a sense of their personality into proceedings through their retorts, whether in victory or defeat.
