Overview

Overview

The player enters a saloon ready to play some cards. The game contains 4 different types of card games to gamble at which are 5 Card Draw, 7 Card Stud, 5 Card Stud, and Texas Hold'em. The player has the option during hands to either call, raise, or fold. If one of the four computer opponents wins a hand, a short FMV clip is played. The games original packaging includes a small paperback "The Basics of Winning Poker" by J. Edward Allen.

Game Play

Cowboy Casino Interactive Poker is a game in which the player challenges five poker players from the Old West.

Reception

Next Generation reviewed the game, rating it one star out of five, and stated that "you don't learn much, or even enjoy playing the hands."[1]

Entertainment Weekly gave the game a B- and wrote that "While the poker simulation Cowboy Casino has more bells and whistles than the competition — including sardonic interjections from live-action opponents — it can't escape the genre's main failing: You can never tell if the computer is dealing straight. This is fine if all you want to do is learn how to play the game, but experienced hands will find it unnerving to get four fifths of the way through a diamond flush, only to be busted by a 10 of clubs."

56% Puxe uma cadeira e participe de uma partida de um dos maiores jogos já criados pelo homem, o pôquer. Conhecido pelos mais velhos, o pôquer vem sendo ofuscado pela era da diversão eletrônica. Mas Cowboy Casino une o velho ao novo, numa agradável partida de se passa num bar do velho oeste. No "saloon" só tem gente boa, todos doidinhos para deixar você com uma mão na frente e outra atrás. São quatro variações que podem ser acionadas em qualquer momento. Você começa com 5 mil dólares), e deve "rapar" a mesa para sair vitorioso.
