Summary: Simply Fun
Comment: I purchased this game about two years ago and I love it. I was pretty addicted to it and then stopped for a while and started up again and have two more casinos to unlock.
This game is cool. It probably wouldn't be impressive to frequent gamers with respect to graphics and such. However, to someone like myself who doesn't play a lot of video games, it is simple to play and fun building up the casinos. Also when you put in wedding chapels and other amenities, you can see a different array of characters moving about your casino. I think its interesting and fun to watch.
The game is listed here for a really low price. I think it's worth it for the entertainment.

Summary: For the "sim" gamer
Comment: I love this type of game, but if someone isnt into long and in depth games than this isnt for them. i love being able to design the interior of my casino how i want yet also the challenge of having goals to meet. also there are little "twists" as you play like casinos attacking you and shady characters wanting to do business with you. but overall this is a great game for me.

Summary: Good but needed some updates and more content
Comment: This game kept me entertained for a while and I even loaded on my laptop because I missed it. Unfortuantely my laptop blew up! Yes it was 1 1/2 year old Alienware laptop.
The graphics werent bad and the premise of this game was good. I happen to like this game better than Vegas Tycoon. While VT had better graphics, to me you had slightly a little more to do in Casino Empire.
You were given tasks to complete involoving none other than, a casino. Various locations and some of the casinos (some mostly empty) looked very nice. The graphics could of been a little more detailed, and the pit bosses needed more realism as well as the slots. Security cameras with a security room could add to the realism where you can actually catch cheaters, robbers, and so fourth looking on the secruity screens from the cameras you placed throughout. It would of been nice also to add a hotel and actually design it, make the rooms, and design and include the resturants (little bit of resturant empire and Maximum Occupancy-Hotel Tycoon) mixed in by making a resort complete with a pool, parking lot, and designing comp cards. A window would take you to a screen tha shows when the person is coming to the hotel, when he/she is leaving and later on how much comp did he/she earn. If he/she brings their family, you need things to do for the children or else they wont have a pleasant stay and in turn will not spend much time in the casino. The resturants and keno were awful. I hate pasting resturants on walls, its so unreal. It wuld of been nice to build a buffet breakfast/lunch/dinner style resturant and actually design it and go in.
I would of also liked to see progressive jackpots, the huge signs, and perhaps opening and closing so the technicians can service the slots, fill them, and clean up as well. Adding a bar would be a plus. Many casinos have bars that you can sit at. The cashiers and waitresses would add to the realism.

Summary: Fun with no hassle
Comment: This game provides hours of good fun entertainment and increasing challanges as you go from one casino to the next. It is a game that does not require hours of studying the manual to play. It's only downfall is that the player can't manipulate the services (Restaurants, bingo parlors, Wedding chapels and etc.) that the player creates for the casino.
