Good but needed some updates and more content - Reviewed on 2007-08-09
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.
