Took me a little over an hour and a half to lose the race to going broke against the CPU in the four 1-player modes. I'm considering that as beating it.

You play slots against either the CPU or another human, with both players betting on the same machine. Each player starts with 25 coins and the game ends when one player, or both simultaneously, runs out of money. At that point, you can choose to give both players another 25 coins or start over. The game has four modes with 1- or 2-player options for each mode. The biggest fault I give it is that it doesn't highlight the line(s) that payout. Other than that, it does the job. I'd imagine consisting of only one casino game removed most of the staying power for most people that bought this back then.
