Bicycle Casino games is a great way to satisfy that hunger for gaming action when you just can't get to the real thing. You can play at Treasure Island, The Mirage, or Bellagio - three famous casinos on the Las Vegas Strip. You can play 21 casino games in all. They are: Blackjack, Craps, Roulette, Video Poker, Slots, Video Slots, Let it Ride, Caribbean Stud Poker, Progressive Blackjack, Pai Gow Poker, Baccarat, Mini-Baccarat, European Roulette, Keno, The Big 6 Wheel, Seven Card Stud Poker, Five Card Draw Poker, Texas Hold 'Em Poker, Omaha Hold 'Em Poker, Omaha 8's or Better Poker (new), and Razz Poker (new). All the games come with instructions and optional hint and strategy buttons for those times you just are not quite sure what to do.

You can play any game and earn comps at all the bars and restaurants, or play the casino challenge and become the ultimate high roller. Sorry, the comps are only virtual, so if you're thinking you're going to get some free drinks, you are sadly mistaken. Remember this is a virtual setting here!!

You will come across 12 or so different characters that all have their own personalities. They can become quite chatty while at the tables. Though this can get annoying at times, it does add to the realism of the gaming experience. Fortunately you can toggle how often they talk or silence them completely. In fact you can toggle just about all the casino's environments to your liking for an enjoyable experience.

In my opinion the casino challenge is the best part of the game. You are not only competing against the casino, but also other gamblers. The object is to increase your bankroll over a set number of hands. Beat out some other players and move on to the next casino. This gives a sense of accomplishment and added re-playability. Otherwise you simply play your favorite game and visit the virtual ATM if you need more cash.

Overall for a game that retails for about 20 bucks its not a bad deal. The game is enjoyable and will provide many hours of gameplay. Unfortunately this title has no multiplayer capability. The graphics and sounds are about average for the genre, which is not to bad.

Gameplay: 8.0
The user interface is super easy to follow. Getting in the games and playing is a snap. Though waiting for computer players to finish can slow a bit, especially in poker.

Graphics: 7.0
Nothing fancy here, but hey this is simple stuff…right?

Sound: 7.0
The sound effects are realistic and the music is ok at best. This is not exactly a title that relies on great sound effects to add realism to the gameplay. Audibly this is probably as good as it gets for this type of genre.

Difficulty: Easy
This is a breeze to play whether your 12 or 112. Any age that understands the games will be playing in no time.

Concept: 6.5
Nothing new about a casino title. I would have thought for sure there would have been some sort of no limit type of poker to play, especially in the casino challenge. I was quite disappointed to find that table missing in the poker room, especially with all the hype that game gets.

Overall: 7.0
Average at best. For 20 bucks, it is probably worth the money.
