The game serves up a clutch of sturdy gambling options, from craps to Texas hold ’em poker, and it can feel just as tacky as a trip to Vegas thanks to some gloriously cheesy music.
-
Inconsistent AI and bland presentation certainly detract from the game as a whole, however the quantity of casino games offered combined with an addictive fun-factor throughout and terrific wireless play are more than enough to leave you satisfied nonetheless.
-
So, why will this game stay in my rotation? Simple. I will keep playing this game for the sole reason that you can play up to 5 person multiplayer with just one game card.
-
Basically, this is a solid casino game that is great for older kids (teens and up) and parents looking for a gaming fix or to enhance their skills before they hit the Vegas strip.
-
Underfeatured for the price. It's not bad, but it's just not worth thirty bucks.

Nintendo PowerYou'll enjoy Sega Casino for the range of games it has to offer-just don't expect to be wowed by the presentation. [Jan 2006, p.105]
-
Sega Casino doesn’t make gambling terribly exciting with flashy graphics or sound effects, but it does present solid representations of a number of popular table games, all intuitively playable thanks to the stylus.
-
The graphics and sounds are too simplistic, and the lack of a casino atmosphere is readily apparent. The only real saving grace of this title is the multiplayer mode, but even that is lacking in that you can't play roulette or other games of pure chance with your friends.
-
This collection of parlor games primarily includes odds-based games like roulette and keno, which aren't all that involving.
-
It needs more games, more multiplayer games, and a single-system multiplayer mode to make it truly worthwhile. Otherwise, as mentioned before, simply buying a deck of cards and finding a few friends is a much more entertaining experience.
-
Bringing the casino experience to the handheld remains an elusive dream, as this is just a lazy compilation of simplistic parlor games.
-
It's like Vegas without the money and excitement and shiny things.
-
Despite being two-thirds the price of most DS games, it's still not worth it. You'd be far better off having a wash and going to a friend's house for an unfriendly, loud, fight-inducing game of poker, where at least everything can descend into betting on Mousetrap.
