Video Game Reviews of MASQUE IGT Slots and Multiplay Poker (Windows/Macintosh)
Customer Review: Not worth it - buy something else
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this software because I like to practice gambling strategies on my computer before I go to Las Vegas. With a name like IGT backing it I figured it to be great. It's not even up to pathetic. The slots portion is less than great and pay outs cannot be real even after their patch. It's useless for trying to figure strategies. Since it is IGT the displays look authentic but who cares about that?
The video poker is mediocre and you would be much better getting some of the other products (Ex. Bob Dancer's program) that reflect a more accurate card strategy.
My biggest gripe is with the blackjack. The maximum bet is limited to $1000 which eliminates a few different strategies. The help/betting windows are glued to one area on the field making it VERY inconvenient to move them out of the way and the speed at which the hands are played makes it nearly impossible to see what happened. If your eyes are glued to the fast card turning of the dealer, you have no idea of the result. Speed control or atleast results viewing is on the cheapest of software, but these people decided to omit it all. The online strategy cards are fine, but you can buy them for a couple bucks from most gambling supply stores.
I hate the fact that I have to leave the CD in my drive even though I have plenty of room on my hard drive to store all the needed files, but I guess they are afraid that someone will buy one copy and give the original to their friends. The vendor needs to get over themselves because the product isn't that great that people would want to steal it.
Just to be fair, I put it way for a few months to see if I was judging it unfairly. I have to say that I dislike it more, now that I know what's out there for competition.
I won't say that this is complete junk, but you'd think with a name like IGT backing the product it would at least be user friendly.
