High Rollers Casino (Xbox)

Recently I was rummaging through a box of "free stuff" at a yard sale when I found an old Xbox machine. It came with all the cables to hook it up to our TV. It needed a game and a controller before I could determine if it worked.
I made a quick search using "Xbox games -360" to zero in on some games. I knew my machine would not play games for the Xbox 360, so I needed to exclude 360 from my search. I found this one called "High Rollers Casino" which was brand new and started at a penny. I was lucky and got the game for that opening bid plus shipping.
While I was waiting for it to arrive, I searched Craigslist for someone local who might have a controller for sale. Luck was still with me and I quickly located an ad with five controllers for sale. I picked them up and they threw in a DVD remote control.
Soon my game arrived and I was ready to test my free Xbox machine, which by now had cost me twenty dollars for controllers plus a penny for my first game. I managed to find the correct ports on my TV to plug the cables into. After I hit the power button, my Xbox came to life. It was necessary to set the date and time. Then I inserted the High Rollers Casino disc and I had my first experience ever playing an Xbox.
Being new to the Xbox, it took me some time to discover which buttons I needed to press on the controller to get things going. I was soon placing bets like a pro. My best luck seems to be at playing "21." I have tried several of the slot machines and roulette. All of these have very realistic looks and just like a real casino, it is hard to win. The sounds, which are always present after you enter the game, remind me of being in real casino. This game has since presented me with several hours of casino action while keeping me and my money out of real casinos. I still haven't played all of the games in the casino. You may want to pretend to be James Bond and try your luck at Baccarat. Poker is a popular choice. You will find Texas hold-em, 7 card stud, 5 card draw and several others I never heard of. Perhaps you are ready to try your luck at Craps? They are all in there and much more. I think I'll give Pai Gow poker a try next.
I am not your average game player. After all, I am a great grandfather. I never played a game machine until now. I would recommend "High Rollers Casino" to anyone trying to learn to play the various games found in a real casino. The bartender will give you tips and rules for playing any of the games and you will soon be a video high roller without spending any of your own hard earned cash. If you do run out of video money, just go to the cashier and ask for some more. You can get your next loan after a little begging.
The action is not too fast. For me, a beginner to gaming, it was a great way to learn about the Xbox and get a handle (no pun intended) on how to use the controller. This game may not be exciting enough for the juvenile players who like to race cars or shoot at something. I enjoy playing it and don't feel so far behind the kids anymore when it comes to these gaming machines.
Now to "tackle" my next game. Let's see. There's football, baseball and even golf. What should I try next? Ebay here I come.
