BEWARE - THIS PROGRAM IS EASIER TO BEAT THAN THE REAL THING.

Pros: This program has great graphics and has a lot of games that are fun to play. I mainly used the blackjack and though they don't market it as such, this is clearly a come on to try their real casino play. If you play this free game for a while, you would clearly be tempted to want to try the real thing since if you know how to play blackjack, you way more often than not beat this program. At least I would say in my experience with real live gaming, I can beat this game three or four times more often than I can beat a real dealer.

Cons: I think this product is distributed to have people get interested in their real for money casino play. When I wrote their support a couple of emails asking if this game was identical in every way to the game that is used for the real play, these emails went unanswered. As I know it is not the intent of cnet to get people involved in gambling due to a false experience that might lead them to believe that winning is easier than it really is, I would hope cnet would publish something about the relationship of this game to the real thing. I only say this because the game is being distributed by a real on-line casino. If it was just a game software, it would be different.

Don't do the update

Pros: This program worked great for several months.

Cons: I got an automatic update, loaded it as usual and it made a mess out of my computer. It kept crashing unitl I uninstalled ZoneAlarm. You would think they would have their act a little better together.

You cannot say enought good stuff about this browser.

This is a wonderful bit of software. If only these folks would write a new operating system as well.
