Monte Carlo Casino

Fix your gambling habit with this compilation of five nearly-integrated casino classics. Without the aid of a multi-load, the game provides Five Card Draw Poker, Roulette, Blackjack, Craps and a Fruit Machine. Now the really neat thing is that if you're unlucky at the Poker table you can quit and go to the fruit machine to try to top up your cash quota.

The separate games are nicely done, with animated dealers and players and clear icon selection systems. My only real complaint is that the fruit machine lacks any kind of nudge, hold or bonus features. Still, it's a surprisingly entertaining set of games for gamblers and non-gamblers alike.
