We were doing some cleaning in our house this past weekend and I came across the computer game Casino Empire.
Since I hadn’t played it in ages, I figured I would give it a try again. And, after spending a few hours playing it, I have a mixed opinion about the game.
Casino Empire gives you the opportunity to run casinos on the Las Vegas strip. If you play the empire mode, you start out with the small casino run by your cousin Buddy and, as you
complete specific challenges, are given the opportunity to move up to larger casinos.
The game itself is OK. The challenges do make it interesting because you have to achieve a specific goal in a set amount of years (like 400 customers in three years).
And, you have little things thrown in; like competing casinos sending their goons to destroy your machines or faulty wiring sending your customers scurrying.
My biggest complaint about the game is the fact you don’t get the opportunity to run your own casino.
