Sorry, before CTRL+E works you have to open the tilde console, then set the console var WM_ACTIVATE to 1. Then CTRL+E works.

Also, not well known, but the .POD files (same concept as Doom .WAD files) are actually just ZIP files with the extension renamed. If you rename to .ZIP you can use any tool to view/modify them.

The most interesting POD file is classes.POD. This contains most of the data that drives the game.

But modifying POD files is not necessary! Because the game looks for and opens a file called usermods.pod if present. Any resources in this file replace existing resources in the game.

Have fun creating your own content mods!

I've never seen it documented anywhere, but I've heard there is a tilde console and a rich set of console variables that can be viewed/adjusted. You enable the "cheats" or "debug" mode using CTRL+SHIFT+F8. Then hit tilde to bring down the console. Very similar to a lot of games at the time.

Interestingly, once the debug mode is enabled you can hit CTRL+E to bring up a dialog that shows the console var viewer/editor which shows the hierarchy of console variables and lets you edit them.

Enjoy!

One more tip to make it run: Do what Rethinking said and also deactivate your second monitor (by unplugging it or duplicating the display etc)

Found a much easier way to get this working

Install the game, copy the no cd over,
Download ddraw.dll from narzoul/DDrawCompat/releases github
copy it into the casino empire directory and run as normal, no need for DXwnd

Tested on windows 11

Using BOTAWESOME's DxWnd guide posted below I was able to get this game running perfectly on Win10 in 2024. Man this game brings back a piece of my childhood.

Nice Great directions took me about 15 minutes and I'm already playing the Dirty Boogie. Man, I can't believe how much I missed this game.

the game runs fine, you have to play at a lower resolution or you will see the strange color effects. I don't understand why people feel the necessity to trash this website when they cannot properly configure the games.

Here is a step-by-step guide to run Casino Empire:

Replace the "CasinoEmpire.exe" with the "CasinoEmpire.exe" located in the iso file in the folder named "Game Extras" or you Search for "Casino Empire v1.0 [ENGLISH] No-CD/Fixed EXE" on Google and download it from gamecopyworld.

Download DxWnd and create a folder for it named DxWnd.

Extract the DxWnd files to the folder you created.

Double-click the dxwnd.exe file.

Select "File - Import" from the top menu.

Navigate to the "exports" folder within the DxWnd folder and select "Hoyle Casino Empire (GDI emulation)".

Right-click on the newly created icon in the DxWnd tool and select "Modify".

Find the "Path" option and click the "..." on the far right.

Navigate to the game's installation path and double-click CasinoEmpire.exe.

Press OK to confirm.

Launch the game using DxWnd.

With these steps, you can run Casino Empire without any problems.

Screen is smashed and in purple and pinks. Seems like every download on this site is busted.

doesn't open, wtf?

Jules 2021-01-29 1 point

I got this to open up to the first intro video but watching it or skipping it just leads to a black screen with I'm assuming menu music playing?
Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

idiots 2020-11-04 3 points

if you just download the game and open it... it wont work.. you need to download the no-cd app also. Under "Game Extras" NOCD download and replace it with the Cdrive install file.. should run fine. If you get weird colors run in compatability mode.. enable 16bit colors.. and disable full screen
