This is the sort of game that some people will enjoy spending hours with on a dull, rainy Sunday. I'd rather stand outside in the rain, myself.

Blackjack is easily my "favorite" of this gambling-game assortment, but even that gets boring pretty quickly. If I ever really feel the need to play some Turbo twenty-one, I'll go head to head with Death in Dungeon Explorer II. I will not resort to this.

And while I'm sure there are plenty of folks who'll find the other stuff (poker, roulette, etc.) entertaining, there really aren't any hooks here that make these versions of the games any more enticing than what billions of other computerized card/casino titles offer. Heck, I've played little LCD handhelds that get the job done just as well.

Still, there isn't anything particularly wrong with what's here either, and what you see is basically what you get, so if you like what you see...

But I'll take one more shot at it: the music is annoying.
