I've tried the Puzzle & Board, the Card, the Casino, and the Mind Quiz Games on three different Vista computers. These Hoyle games by Encore are supposed to play on Vista machines, but they do only about 10% of the time. The result was identical on all three computers, except that on two of them the games did not work at all. It would appear that Encore took over from Sierra, which may be why the quality has gone down. If you have Vista do not chance buying these games. The games are so sporadic that I gave up and removed them. Bottom line; don't waste your money unless you are running Windows XP.
I then purchased the CD, and the CD version of the game had the same problem. I contacted customer service via email, and was sent a link for a "patch" which I thought would correct the problem. I purchased a downloaded version of this product, and when playing the "Progressive Fruit Slots" game, found that the reels don't match up with the fruit. Further, I've been playing the Hoyle 2008 slots since August and have yet to hit a jackpot, unlike the 1999 version, which in my opinion, is definitely better than the 2008 version. It didn't. So I sent another email inquiry to customer support (and subsequent emails afterward) and received responses indicating that I should contact the manufacturer about the problem. I suggest you save your money and not purchase the 2008 version. You may be as highly disappointed as I am.
I purchased the Hoyle Casino Games 2008 version for my wife. She had a copy of the 2004 version on an old computer that died. She said the 2008 version was great. Better than the older one.
I got this for my husband for Christmas, I looked & researched games to find the right one, & this is it, he has not put this game down,he loves it.
Ad fails to mention that this a DVD, not a CD. Media is listed as "Video Game" what idiot wrote this ad.Games are not very well implemented and have little intelligence, the poker players always raise the same amount as you.
