Editorial Review:
With Golden Nugget Casino DS you'll have one of the most complete gambling experiences possible. With classic games like Blackjack, Craps and Roulette, plus Slots and Video Poker, you can brush up on your game or start from scratch and quickly learn all you need to know before that trip to Vegas.
Well, Majesco seems to be going down that same royal path of scamming their consumers that Encore, Activision, and numerous others have before them. I am not going to say that Golden Nugget Casino DS is a horrible game, it's not, but it is falsely marketed to be more than it is.
On Amazon.com they report that the game is multi-player and it has Caribbean Stud Poker. On the box the game comes in it claims to have Pai Gow Poker. In the instruction manual that comes with the game, it claims that you create a profile that can be saved. None of any of these claims is true! The games that are in it are enjoyable and so far everything in the game seems to work. You can save ONE profile, but this happens automatically under the name you program into your DS system.
I am sick of programmers throwing games out on the market that are a fraction of what they could have been. Anyone who has bought a great deal of video games in recent times can relate to this. Golden Nugget Casino DS is the sort of game that could have been more, should have been more, planned to be more, looks like its more on the box, but is much much much less.
Buy Sega Casino instead. That game is flawed too, but at least they marketed the game honestly.

Customer Reviews:
Not as fun as it should be.
Well it looks like it would be a fun game, but I was really let down with this one. The graphics on the games are very small and there is no excitement when you hit spin or place a chip. It does say that you can create a character, but you are not given the option. Not worth the money. 2007-02-13

Another questionable video game
If you read my previous reviews of the casino video game genre, you have probably noticed that I am very harsh on the programmers and their companies. Usually, this is because they produce half a game that is both rushed and flawed. These programmers seem to think that they can pull the wool over their consumer's eyes and no one will be any worse off. They get their money for selling garbage, and we, the consumers, get ripped off.
