The interface, audio samples and visuals are all quite authentic. There are gaming machine variants available to play. <p> Although the game doesn't use any authentic gaming machine graphics (like Double Diamond or 4th of July). <p> This is a pleasant little timewaster on par with something like Eric's Solitare. <p> Gameplay is fairly simple: Slots are just a matter of putting in money and pulling the handle. Video Poker is a bit more involved; you have to decide which cards to keep for the next draw. So there is a slight element of strategy. | Reel Deal Slots | new | |
