Various people can be interacted with, some of whom have hints for players.

The objective is to win money at a casino. The player begins with $2,000. Games include blackjack, slot machines, roulette, horse racing, keno, video poker, and red dog. The player can talk to non-player characters (a feature omitted in the Japanese version), who may offer advice and clues on how to live the casino lifestyle. The game also offers $100 scratchcards that players can keep scratching to try to win more money. However, if a picture of a bomb is uncovered, the ticket is void and all winnings are nullified.[3]

Reception

[edit | edit source]

Sega Visions, reviewing the Sega Genesis and Game Gear versions, praised the accuracy of each casino game presented in Caesars Palace, "the name of [which] is total gambling realism", and concluded that "If you like to gamble, this is a way to learn the ins and outs of various wagering games without taking a financial beating."[10][11] VideoGames: The Ultimate Gaming Magazine highlighted that "For those who are into gambling, this is probably a very rad game."[9] In his Complete Guide to Video Games, Nathan Lockard gave an overall rating of 11 out of 30, stating "Other than a good variety of games, this game has terrible controls, which make it very frustrating to play."[12]
