I have been playing real arcade games for several years, but lose some games every time our computer crashes and needs new hardware (especially with older games). So this was one of them and I am thrilled to have a permanent copy. It's fun to play with real players as seen on TV and see responses on their faces during a play. Thanks!

I purchased this game about a week ago, since I wasn't willing to pay much for it. I'm glad I waited. I beat the game with a purse of $465,000, but it took about 30 hours total time to do it. Basically how to beat the game is fold your way into the money. Just wait until you bubble then take a risk. Also, don't go all in pre-flop with anything unless it is at least a decent pair. I do agree with the previous review that the computer players seem to have an uncanny ability to catch cards. Thus, I decided that I would wait until I flopped the absolute nuts and then go all-in to get the loose computer AI to call.
Obviously I beat the game, but this game teaches you how to play scared and bad poker. However, one thing it does teach you is to make sure to play premium cards. I play live at casinos, and sadly this sort of scared tight play usually wins at low limits. But if you ever want to get good a poker don't think this game can help you do that. Not worth the money at all, and now that I have beaten it, it is going in the garbage.
