First Look: Freeverse Burning Monkey Casino

by Steven Sande (RSS feed) on Nov 14th, 2008



The evil geniuses at Freeverse have just delivered their new baby -- Burning Monkey Casino for iPhone / iPod touch!

For only US$0.99, you're getting more fun in your pocket than...well, let's not go there. The app is packed with seven different games: Slots, Blackjack, Video Poker, Money Wheel, Pachinko, Scratch-n-Win Lotto, and 3 Card Monty. Not only do you have 18 different video poker games, 9 slot machines, and a blackjack game with 1 to 8 decks, but what other game app comes with its own lounge act and stand up comedian?

Burning Monkey Casino (click opens iTunes) is the app that dares to prove that "casino" and "Cupertino" rhyme. Be sure to check out the video clip above for details.

According to Hoyle, it's 2009

Hoyle Puzzle & Board GamesEncore Software apparently has a time machine, and it's not the one built into Leopard. They have just introduced three new entries in their Hoyle series of Mac games -- Hoyle Puzzle & Board 2009, Hoyle Cards 2009, and Hoyle Casino 2009.

Hoyle Puzzle & Board 2009 features puzzle games, including Sudoku, Anagrams, Hangman, Mahjongg, and over 1,200 crossword puzzles. The "Board" part of the game is actually Freeverse's Big Bang Board Games, which includes Backgammon, Checkers, Chess, and four more classic games. You can play against virtual or real opponents, and you gain Hoyle Bucks to purchase new music and backgrounds.

Hoyle Cards 2009 has hundreds of card games, and you can now play online against other card sharks in the Royle (sic) Suite. Hoyle Casino gives you slots, roulette, and all of the other casino favorites, now with access to the Royle Suite and online tournaments.

The games are available for $19.99 each and require Mac OS X 10.4.10 or later. Be sure to check out the system requirements before you buy, since some of the games require Intel processors, and then party like it's 2009!
