Summary: Great For What It Is
Review: Okay, let's get one thing straight: playing a slot game where there is no payout is like giving a starving man a plastic apple. Sure, it looks nice but what good is it? The same holds true for this game.
So why the 4 stars? Well, I'm basing my rating on what the developers set out to do, and that's to make a realistic casino slot game. The graphics, the bells and whistles-it's all there! I bought the game for the characters it features (Popeye, Blondie and Betty Boop) and the mini-games you can play when you hit the bonus reels. I was not disappointed.
Granted, after awhile you wonder what you are doing staring at a monitor and clicking your mouse on the same spot over and over again. All in all, if you like slot games and the classic cartoon characters, this games for you.

Summary: Extremely FUN!!!!!!
Review: Slots from Bally Gaming is extremely fun (AND INEXPENSIVE). This has many of Ballys 9 Line Video Slots with Bonus screens, including POPEYE, BLONDIE DOUBLE FEATURE, MOVIE STAR BETTY (Boop), CASH ENCOUNTERS, PERLY GATES, SOAP OPERA, THE HEIST, GOLD MINE, ISLAND WINS, PRIENCE OF PERSIA, MOO MONEY, and also the Bonus Spin FREE BEE, CREAZY CLOWS and DOUBLE DRAGON. ALL of these games are a blast. The Disk also includes 10 or so of the run of the Mill Slots; like Blazing Sevens, Las Vegas, Stars and Bars, etc., The slots are run of the mill but OK, but all the 9 Line Bonus games, as mentioned above, are extremely fun. This is a must get for slot lovers, the only negative is you have to put the disk in to initialized the game every time you play. even still IT ROCKS!!! I just ordered Bally Slots 2, I can't wait to get it!!!

Summary: Video Slot Player
Review: Slots from Bally Gaming is fun. I wish that they would add video games such as Reel-Um-In,Little Green Men, Texas Tea and etc. I believe the Games would be better, if it had the Actual Casino Games, to get that real Casino feel...

Summary: funtastic
Review: So far the Slots from Bally Gaming is a good as it gets. Only thing it does not do is give you the money from the casino. Love it ... Masque makes the very best casino games. Never dissapointed in any of their poker, solitaire, or any of the three Slots... Great way to relax!!

Summary: Slots from Bally Gaming DUD
Review: This game has no install wizard and no uninstall. It says compatible with Windows 98 and ME. When I loaded it on my computer Windows ME, it would not work. MShell21.DLL lobby error. Tried to uninstall and it uninstalled components of other programs on my computer, which then totally crashed. Tried to load it on another computer using Windows 98, still would not work. Contacted Masque, they had me return the product for a refund. I think there are bugs in this program. Buyer Beware.

Summary: A must-buy for anyone who loves slots!
Review: This game is TOO much fun! It's by far the best PC slots game I've ever played. I don't even know where to start. The variety of games is amazing -- there are so many different machines here that when you first get it, you'll probably spend a long time just flipping through them all seeing what they are.

The video slots are just like many of the best and most popular ones you find in the casinos. Some of my favorites are "Soap Opera," "Blondie Double Feature," and "Movie Star Betty Boop." "Popeye" is another very entertaining cartoon-based slot. There are so many slots with bonus rounds on this disc that there's endless variety of game play, and you never know what's going to happen next. This is the best PC game I've ever seen as far as duplicating the experience you get in the casino. A lot of other home versions of casino slots are watered-down versions with very limited sound and visual effects, which for me are at least half the fun of playing the game in the casino. I love the little touches, and they're all here. One of my most enjoyable real life casino experiences was playing a "Soap Opera" machine at Mandalay Bay that was paying out like mad, and now I can experience that sort of fun right here at home (though, sadly, there are no waitresses bringing free cocktails here).

One of the best features, and one that's sadly lacking on many other PC slot games, is that you have the choice of playing either realistic payouts or ultra-high payouts. The former is more like being in the casino, but the latter makes it even more fun because you get lots of very high scatter pays, bonus wins, etc. Most other home games are either set at only the realistic or only the ultra-high payout levels, so it's great that you get to choose here on each game. It adds even more variety to an already amazing package. And it's a really nice change of pace from some home games in which the slots are so tight that they're no fun at all (hello, "Monopoly Casino"!).

It's great fun if you love playing video slots with bonus rounds in the casinos. The fact that it's not real money means you can play Max Bet on everything, which makes it much more fun but wipes out your bank account in the real casinos. It's also a better assortment of new games than I've ever seen in Vegas, and you don't have to put up with the smoke, the empty hoppers, or that inevitable person who wants to sit down beside you and yammer inanely.

I can't say enough positive things about this game. I'm definitely going to go out and get some of the other casino simulators by Masque. One warning, though: this CD is ridiculously addictive!

Summary: Jackpots are hard to get.
Review: This is an excellent product, but, winning the jackpots is so difficult. I've owned this item for almost a year. I use to play it often, but I got disgusted with not winning the jackpots. The games are just like the casino's versions and just as hard to win the jackpots. I've only won jackpots on two of the games and I have played them all for many hours and days, since buying it. I will try the newest Masque Publishing Edition of Slots, because they did an excellent job, on all the versions, in reproducing the casino games for personal computing play.

Summary: Slots From Bally Gaming-Masque
Review: This is our third purchase from Masque. Having both the slots version and slots II we were anxiously awaiting the launch of their latest casino gaming software. We were not disappointed at all.It installed easily on win2000. We haven't had any program crashes either. The graphics are terific, the games are just like the ones at the casinos. Our favorites are the Video Slots with the bonus rounds! We were pleased to find even more video slots on the Slots from Bally Gaming. If you are contemplating about this software, get it you will be glad you did. Then you'll be rushing out to buy Slots II if you haven't already done so.

Summary: Excellent product
Review: This is yet another winner from Masque,if you enjoy playing slots its a must buy. When the wheels spin they dont blur as in so many other slot simulations, but the symbols are visible as the wheel spin, a nice touch. Also you can choose realistic payout, or a payout rate that cant be expected in a casino, thereby ensuring that both the exact simulation aspect as well as the game fun aspect is taken care of. The various games are replicated in almost exact detail, no other can provide well known games done so well as Masque.
Unfortunately it seems that both Bally and IGT has become reluctant to let Masque use their machines for future game collections - the next one out will be of a few Bally machines and then machines made up by Masque. Unwise decision by Bally and IGT in my mind, these collections is a great way to familiarise yourself with the various machines out there.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: More of Slots 2.
Review: Yeah, its more of the same of the excellent Slots II game. An even mix of video and reel; the same great quality sound and graphics.

So if you liked Slots II, (read all reviews); you'll love this one. And especially if you are a fan of 9 - line 5 reel Video slots. All the latest from Bally that came out last year.

You won't go wrong.
