When I was younger, a friend of mine got a handheld device that had a few casino games built into it. We played it for hours- during car trips, while waiting to be picked up from school, and during our free time. The days of scrounging up AAA batteries to power dot matrix displays are over- now you can play casino games with a much more advanced system using 15-in-1 Casino & Sportsbook!

| Does it Fulfill its Purpose? | 16 | 15-in-1 Casino & Sportsbook is a game about virtual gambling. It includes a large number of games that one might find in a casino, including a number of variations of blackjack, poker, slots, and roulette. There is also an extensive game with its own form of currency which involves betting on sports games. For the most part, the games include most of the features that one might hope for in this type of game, but it would be nice to have a little more feedback from the game while playing. For example, it might help in Blackjack to have a running tally of your current score, as it can be difficult to keep track of different scoring methods- and to be honest, there were matches of Caribbean Stud where I had no clue as to why I lost. I also ran into a bug where it would let you bet more than you had- when you ran out, it gave you the option of getting an additional 2000 from the dealer. Since there is no penalty for this action, a player could just keep betting and taking from the dealer indefinitely with no penalty. |
| Does it Look Good? | 18 | The app is very varied, with many different sections. The menu screen looks very nice, and most of the games do as well. Blackjack and Slots look particularly nice, and most of the animations look great. The buttons are a bit cramped with the ads (likely hoping to get accidental ad clicks), but aside from that for the most part everything looks nice and isn’t too cramped. |
| Does it Run Well? | 20 | 15-in-1 Casino & Sportsbook runs just over 1MB when installed to SD. It uses permissions for storage, location, network access, phone state and identity, and network state. |
| Is it Easy to Use? | 13 | 15-in-1 Casino & Sportsbook is a large game with a lot of content, and while much of it is common knowledge, many of the games have different regional rules which will not be quite as familiar to casual players. The game includes a help section, but it leads to generic help websites, and they can be a little difficult to associate with the game itself. It might be nice to have help available in the game, such as a button that activates a popup list of which hands beat which, or how much different bets will win in the case of the roulette. |
| Is it Fun? | 14 | If you enjoy casino games, there’s a lot to do here. However, the sports game has shown that there could be more, with its daily allotment of points and leaderboards. If a few of these kind of features- even something as simple as unlockables that you buy with points- were included in the main game, it might make it feel like it as a bit more purpose to it. |
| Overall Score | 81 | If you are hoping to enjoy simple casino games on the go, give this app a shot- it’s got a large variety of great games to enjoy. |
