Vegas Casino 12 Pack

Mobile casino collections are fairly common nowadays. When it comes to these mobile gambling Meccas, personality is usually the one distinguishing factor.

Most tend to come with a similar line-up, the usual card and slot based games all covered, making the way they're presented the one and only tool in each title's arsenal.

Digital Chocolate is something of an expert when it comes to adding a touch of class to the most simple of titles, Vega Casino 12 Pack coming with the same kind of sheen the publisher has eagerly applied to its Party Island series.

Though there aren't any social networking options here, what is on offer treads a similar path, serving up characters with genuine personalities and backgrounds to play against rather than handing you a chain of drones to square up to.

The premise here is that you're a millionaire with a desire to make a name for yourself, entering into a world renowned competition designed to split the gambling wheat from the chaff.

This means taking on each of your rivals one by one, picking up stars with each victory that unlock the tougher opponents. Each one has their own story and fortune, taking them on and winning rewarding you - at least superficially - with an item from their prized collection. Expensive trinkets such as cars and jewellery are all up for grabs.

Manage to beat your rival three times and you'll eliminate them from the competition, though picking up each star does up the challenge for any return visits.

The games themselves are standard fare. A flip of a coin determines who gets to pick from three slot-based games, three takes on poker, three blackjacks, two spins on baccarat and a roulette game. Most centre around either the D-pad, or the number keys '2', '4', '6' and '8'. A tap of '8' lets you change your best on the slot machines, for instance, while '2' slaps it up as high as you go.

Whether you win or not, of course, is often down to chance, as that's the appeal of a trip to the casino - handing over your hard earned cash to Lady Luck. Vegas Casino 12 Pack certainly offers the means to do that without risking your mortgage, adding a sense of character often lacking in some of its rivals.

With simple controls and an equally straightforward structure, this is a one stop shop for those after a Vegas experience on the go.
