Description of Casino Games

Casino Games is a very early casino game from IBM, coded entirely in BASIC. Albeit primitive graphics and gameplay (you can't expect much more from a 1982 title ;)), the game offers decent options and underlying (mostly random) mechanics that somewhat convey the excitement of losing big money in a real casino.

There are three games to choose from: blackjack, slots, and poker, each of which can also be run as a separate game since it's coded in separate BASIC files (.bas extension). Worth a look as one of IBM's earliest games, although not a keeper by any means.

How nice to see this is still around. :) I was one of the IBM testers working with the developer to have it ready for publishing. The opening Casino screen was designed by me and you can see our little Easter Egg from the sign of my friend and I appearing. Hmm, maybe we started a trend of Easter Eggs in video games. Lola was the popular character in the Barry Manilow song Copacabana and I chose that because it sounded Vegas-like.
