"Caesar's Palace" is a 1990 Virgin Interactive gambling video game developed by Realtime Associates for the Nintendo Entertainment System. It is named after the famous Caesars Palace on the Las Vegas Strip near Las Vegas, Nevada. In this game, the player has $1000 in chips and he must try to become rich (or become broke trying to). This game gives underaged people an experience previously limited to people 21 years of age or older. Because the game was marketed directly towards minor children, a disclaimer was added before the actually suggesting that it was intended for entertainment use only and not for actual gambling.

Explanation of games

Each game follows casino standard for the odds, the only thing to add is that the roulette both use the 0 and 00. When the player leaves by going to the cashier, different forms of transportation are summoned based on how much money he has. Possible ways of leaving include leaving by bus (for bankrupt players), taxi (offering slightly more grandeur than the bus for low-level players), a small green car (the least expensive car in the game), a luxury orange car (the mid-range car for mid-level gamblers), a limousine (which is ironically not the best ending), and a red sports car (which has two doors and is possibly a convertible).

Legacy

This game was followed in 1993 by "Super Caesars Palace" by Majesco. The sequel didn't match the original's success, although it had enhanced graphics and new different types of gambling games.
