6-in-1 Casino

~~My Fifth and Final Review from SinCity!!~~

For my last Las Vegas review, I thought I'd go for an app that combines several casino games in one. 6 to be exact. 6-in-1 Casino combines 6 casino games: Baccarat, BlackJack, Roulette, Video Poker, Slots, Casino Wars. Earlier this week, I called the Slots game a crude rendition, but that was before I had ever opened this app. The truth is is that this app is just plain ugly. Just opening it makes me cringe. There isn't much to review since these are just some basic games, but they look hideous. I can hardly believe that I payed $.99 for this monstrocity of an app. I could understand this app's look and feel if it were free, and even then, I'd be upset that I wasted any space on my phone with this app. Don't even search for this app, it will only make you upset. Not worth looking at.

I'd like to thank Vince for all his help this week by posting all my reviews. He's a pretty cool dude!

Sol Free Solitaire

~~My Fourth Post from Sin City!!~~

Ok, this one isn't really a casino game, but it is a card game and it's one of my all time favorite iPhone games (I'm sure Vince is going to make fun of me for that). Sol Free Solitaire. What makes this game so great is that for the price of nothing at all, you get a really nice looking game that also comes with several different card games. Those games are: Baker's Game, Baker's Game Easy, Demon, Klondike Deal 1, Klondike Deal 3, and Spiderette. These are all simple soltaire style games with the Klondikes being the version most of us are used to. And if you aren't sure how to play one of the games, this game comes with free and thorough instructions. One of my favorite parts is that this game keeps track of your stats, so it will tell you how many times you have won all together, how many times you've won without using the "Undo" button and so much more. A really powerful app for nothing. The company, Smallware, has five versions of soltaire, all ranging from free to $1.99. The pricier ones feature more games and different themes, but if all you're looking for is a fun soltaire game to play, then Sol Free Soltaire is the game for you.

Zynga Live Poker

~~My Third Post from Sin City!!~~

Ok actual poker fans. If my last review wasn't authentic poker enough for you, then this one will have to be the one for you. Zynga Live Poker or Live Poker, in short, is a portable version of online poker gaming. Albeit, you aren't playing for real money, you do build up a credit within the game. The interface is really crisp and snappy. Lag is something that can really ruin an app, but lag is something Live Poker lacks. It is really nice that you do not have to start a new account with Zynga to play. You can start one if you want to, but you also are given the option to login using your Facebook account. A plus side to that is that it automatically uploads your profile picture from your Facebook to Live Poker. I will give you a warning: this game is really only fun to serious poker players. You definitely have to know what you're doing 100% before you start. There's a free version as well as several different deluxe versions ranging from $.99 to $14.99.

MotionX Poker Quest

~~Second Post from Sin City!!~~

I've never been a huge fan of poker games, but MotionX Poker Quest has got me addicted! (To the game, not gambling...yet...). That's because this is no ordinary poker game. Instead of playing with cards, you roll a set of dice that have numbers and suits on it ranging from the 9 card all the way through the aces. You roll the dice, select which dice you'd like to keep (ex. A one pair) then roll again. You roll a total of three times in order to get the hand you want. There are two ways to roll: wither hit the "Roll" button, or shake the phone. And don't worry if you have no idea how to play poker, because one of my favorite parts of this game is that after each roll, at the bottom of te screen appears an icon that tells you exactly what kind of hand you have available. The graphics look outstanding and the sound effects are crisp and perfect. Two problems I hard are that there seems to be a little bit of a lag between rolling and choosing your dice and the shaking isn't very sensitive at all so you end up looking like a crazy person whenever you want to roll. But with those minor problems aside, this game is most definitiely worth taking a look at. There are quite a few versions of this game. A lite one and two $2.99 versions. I kind of don't want to review the other games I have lined up for this week because that would mean I'd have to stop playing this one!

iSlots

~~My First Review from Las Vegas, Nevada~~

iSlots is a slots based game. That's it. I wish I could say there's more to this game, but when you open the app, you are bombarded with a crude rendering of a slot machine. You start of with 100 "credits" which you can start betting. Then, by pressing the "Start" button, the slots begin. The rest is obvious, you either win or lose. There's a $0.99 version but also a free one and it's a good thing it's free because I would have been highly disappointed had I payed any real American dollars for this.
