Vegas Stakes (Virtual Console) Review

Avalith | December 07, 2007 | Reviews | Wii 
IGN reviews Vegas Stakes for the Nintendo Wii's Virtual Console. The game was originally released on the SNES and it still seems to be as mediocre of a gambling video game as you can get. IGN's score? 7.0 out of 10.
Vegas, baby. Vegas. Sin City is one of the undeniable icons of our age, a landmark of love, lust and loss that seems to exist in separation from the rest of the world. A place where what happens there, stays there – especially if what happens there is you losing all your money. Vegas Stakes is a game that came along in the early '90s and attempted to translate all that glitz, glamour and greed into a 16-bit SNES cartridge. Though it didn't hit the jackpot as a phenomenal success, its faithful adaptation of five classic casino games and scattered bits of story combined together to let the title at least break even. It's a game that won't blow you away, but if you're interested in an introduction to the world of gambling and addiction, Vegas Stakes could be your gateway drug.
