In this first iteration of Hoyle's Casino, you enter a Vegas casino where you can play: Blackjack, Craps, Roulette, Slot Machines, and different varieties of Poker. You start with $5,000 and try to build up winnings, or if you lose all your money you can try asking loan sharks for more. The game offers computer opponents and croupiers who comment wittily on your performance and each has their own personality. You can alter the settings as to how talkative they are. Plus, you can change various options of the games depending on your preferences.
