    The game looks great, plays well, has a solid soundtrack, is user-friendly, and is enjoyable. What more could you ask for?

    While the concept is anything but original, the game is polished and enjoyable. [Holiday 2002, p.114]

    An interesting twist on the empire-building genre, but a lack of polish keeps it from being truly great.

    An exercise in tedium and frustration that's best left in the box, Casino Tycoon's few positives do little to balance out a mass of overwhelming negatives that avid players of the genre and even casual fans will find sorely displeasing.

    Like Buddy's Casino, the first business you manage in the game: solid and full of promise, but ultimately unable to knock off the big boys further up the street. [Jan 2003, p.125]

    It plays conservatively and never hits the jackpot.
  7. Gamer's Pulse

    A graphically eye catching title offering multiple game choices and services to use in the development of your perfect casino, but looking past this glitter and technical stability is a title offering no long term gameplay or challenge even to novice fans of the genre.
