Royal Casino: Video Poker Reviews

Buy it on huge sale only, for some random chill. You cannot expect anything more, also since the game modes are very limited. Once you will get all the achievements, you will easily forget about this game.

- No controls to turn off the annoying sounds - Boring card design - No options to change card design - Balance is never the same as "cloud balance" and has to re-sync every launch - Almost as much fun as getting a root canal without anesthesia.

Bought it on sale for 50 cents. For 50 cents its quite a deal. Very simple video poker game. Great for practicing or casual fun.

“Honey, why are you rolling all of those coins?” “Daddy, why can’t I go to college?” “Honey, have you seen my grandfather’s pocket watch?” “Why are you and mom fighting all the time?” “Since when do you drink?” “I started to drive to Gwen’s, but I realized there was a garden hose taped to the exhaust. Why would someone do that?” [b][u]The Good[/u][/b]: [list] [*]You pretty much know what it is you’re getting. [*]My urge to gamble was adequately satisfied. [*]You can resume your game. [/list] [b][u]The Neutral[/u][/b]: [list] [*]The soundtrack features just one track; a sax-y hip hop beat that makes me feel like I’m dying inside. [*]I know it’s [b]VIDEO POKER[/b], but I wish they had actually put a variety of games in this. Who doesn’t like variety when hitting rock bottom? [*]Max bet is 5. You start with a total of 100. [/list] [b][u]The Bad[/u][/b]: [list] [*]There is an achievement that everyone complains about: [b]Royal Flush[/b]. Personally, this doesn’t really bother me, but I put it under the bad category because of how others respond. It may take you a long time to get that achievement. It’s not really a factor unless you care about getting 100%. I suppose you could always use a script to play overnight and try to get a royal flush, but where’s the fun in that? [*]I did have issues with resuming my game sometimes; it was some issue related to cloud sync. [/list] [b][u]Pro Tips[/u][/b]: [list] [*]If you’re just going for a high amount, it’s best to think of a range of hands instead of a specific hand. [*]You place your bets before you see the cards, so you’ll have to really work with what you have. [/list] If you have the innate desire to throw money away and need something that simulates that, this’ll do the job. It’s only $3, but if video poker alone isn’t worth that, I think I got it on sale for $1.

Took me 6.5 hours to get the Straight Flush. I got every other achievement, around the 1 hour mark. I've been hunting this fucking Straight Flush for 5.5 hours. On a positive note, I don't have to play this game ever again

You would think that since this is simply a game there might be some nice luck once in a while. I am so frustrated with this game that it isn't even funny. Las Vegas slots are looser than this game!

This game is nice little time waster. I was not a fan of the music, but I do like the sounds. The game does seem to capture the video poker experience. The achievements are pretty much up to RNG with the Royal Flush being the most elusive. Overall, I am happy with my purchase, and I fire this up for a few minutes at a time when I want to chill out to poker.

I had a yearning for basic video poker, and for €0.59 on sale, I got my money's worth. There does not seem to be any other Jacks-or Better game on PC, Switch or mobile that does the essentials for free or almost free. The sound and graphics aren't great, and the cloud save does not work, but this is an otherwise functional game that you can play while listening to music or a video and get that draw poker action basically for free. I expect to play for a few more hours now and then in the future.

I am giving this game a negative review because of how incredibly bare-bones it is: bland visual design, cheap music and sound effects, no alternate game modes, no in-game perks to spend the virtual money on. It's just an extremely basic simulation of a "Jacks or better" video poker machine and nothing more. I played for a couple of hours to get the achievements (except for the royal flush achievement, I don't have time for that), and now I will probably set this game aside and never touch it again.

You get 100 tokens when you start a game. You can bet 1-5 per hand. When you run out, you start a new game. There's no game modes or multiple hand settings though there is a leaderboard and the ability to save/continue games to keep your token total. I got it for 50c and put in a couple hours while working. Hands seem genuinely random and it functions fine. So if you want to just play endless video poker without losing real money to kill some time it's worth it. If you're expecting anything deep or overly engaging, you will be let down.
