Video Casino is a straightforward casino simulation that brings several familiar gambling games to the computer screen. The idea is wonderfully simple: choose your game, place your bets, and hope that mathematics has decided to be friendly today. The presentation is basic, but that is hardly a major obstacle when the core attraction is watching cards, numbers, or wheels determine your virtual fortune. Unlike an adventure game, there is no grand story to follow and no villain waiting around the corner. Your main opponent is probability, which has the irritating habit of being completely indifferent to your plans. Video Casino is interesting today as a snapshot of early home-computer entertainment, when developers were experimenting with ways to recreate activities normally associated with arcades and casinos. It has a simple, almost utilitarian charm, and its appeal is easy to understand. Sometimes a game does not need a sprawling plot; sometimes you just need a virtual bankroll and the confidence that this next hand will definitely be different.
