Beat the House
The best-selling casino game of all time, Beat the House is an excellent game that is both accessible for beginners and challenging for veterans.
includes seven casino favorites: video poker, slots (2 types), roulette, craps and blackjack. All games belong to the 'table' category (where you interact with people, e.g. dealers and opponents), and to the 'machine' category (where you interact only with machines, e.g. slots). As in real-world casinos, you start the game with a small amount of money in the casino lobby, and you can freely switch from one game to another whenever you want. You can borrow more money from the bank if you have any problems: you just have to remember to pay it back. One register can keep track of the records of up to nine players at a time. This includes information on how much money the player had and when they last played. A statistics function keeps track of how the player performs in each game he tries. For example, in the case of blackjack, the game records the suit and value of each card and the bet amount of each hand the player plays. Several players may play some of the games at the same time, such as roulette, craps, blackjack and baccarat. Machine games must be played individually. What sets Beat the House apart from other casino games is the excellent online trainer and very comprehensive help functions. Not only can you read the rules of any game, but the online trainer will teach you important strategies, how to distinguish between good and bad bets, and give you useful tips on how to make the best of your current situation (e.g. current poker hand). Another great feature is the player logs: the game keeps a record of all your statistics, so you can review how you did in any game to find mistakes that you will learn not to repeat in future games. The computer players are competent, and both the graphics and interface are pleasing to the eye, though far from spectacular. With a plethora of options, the best online trainer I've seen in any casino game, and solid gameplay, it's no wonder that Beat the House remains today the best casino game ever created. Without a doubt, a must-play game for any fan of the genre - two thumbs up!
