The game even offers a ton of digitized voice calling out the hands in Blackjack and the numbers in roulette. The developer failed to offer the spinning wheel to select the number, offering only a weird paint "splat" that drops on the number picked. And the spinning reels of the slot machines are the most realistic on the handheld. Dealers' hands actually pass out the cards in smooth motions. The animations of each of the games are very well done for the Game Boy Color - in craps, you'll shake your dice in your hand in a choice of two positions.

Blackjack is here, as is Roulette and Craps, and there are four variations of slotmachines and four of Video Poker (though the differences in video poker are merely cosmetic in their theme ¿-they're the exact same game otherwise). There are tons of Poker games, including Pai Gow (and the tutorial for this is excellent, I never understood the game until I played it here). What's more, the casino games that are offered in Hoyle Casino are well-produced on the Game Boy Color. And without that battery, you can never retain the bragging rights of showing off how much money you've taken away from the house. You never win real money in these videogame casino titles - it's all about how long you can last with the standard bankroll offered at the beginning of the game.

That's an absolute must in these types of games, simply because you really need to keep track of your virtual winnings in some form.
