I guess they only have games to play against the house though ... not against other players ? I really prefer poker, you know. My thought with this kind of thing is it would likely be full of 'fish'. Or actually maybe this kind of casino attracts minors... hmm thats not really a good thing. I’ve not tried this yet … i really should since I’m a compulsive addicted worn out gambler.

I don’t play as many games on the computer as console systems like the Xbox 360 and most recently the Nintendo Wii (I’m really grooving on Wii Sports bowling). In the past I’ve played a few games on the computer, despite having a monthly membership to Vegas Reel Deal Casino (not real online gambling) that I barely played for a full year. Just cancelled that membership in favor of trying some other online PC game services. [...] […] It’s no secret for those reading this blog that I’m a huge gaming fan.

It can (or could) be upgraded with cash from winning games so, YES! In a lot of ways there was more to Leisure Suit Larry's Casino than there is to Reel Deal Vegas. Comedy clubs and game shows you could participate in. You could buy items in the gift shop and give them to other players. There was a wedding chapel in which you could even get married. Having played both, I think Larry's Casino was as much as a "MMORCG" as Reel Deal Vegas. Larry's Casino casino eventually was plagued by cheaters and was abandoned. “(can Larry’s suite be customized by playing the games and earning VIP points, BTW?)”

I looked up the following review for it: http://www.gamespot.com/pc/puzzle/leisuresuitlarryscasino/review.html and Gamespot writes: "If you're looking for a good casino game, this definitely isn't it. There are other games that allow the science of beating the odds to come to the fore. If you're looking for an interesting party game to chat it up with some people online and meet people unashamed to have their character icons appear as swingers who look like they're constantly sitting in a hot tub, then Larry's Casino is worth a look." The Gamespot review doesn't mention any leveling or experience that your swinger character Larry (can Larry's suite be customized by playing the games and earning VIP points, BTW?), so I'm not sure where the RPG aspect is in this one, do you know? I notice the review was from 1998, so I wonder if the online portion of this game has long since been retired? Anybody know? From what I can tell, I don't think this was/is the same type of game as what Phantom EFX is doing and doesn't truly qualify as a MMOCG, but any more detail you can provide if you (or any other reader) was ever able to actually play this game would be helpful. sneaker - thanks for mentioning Leisure Suit Larry’s Casino, as this is one that missed my radar.
