Lynx Casino

Hey, big rollers Slip into your favorite polyester suit, and slink on down to Atari's Lynx Casino for a little gambling.

Cards On the Table

As you stroll across the tacky carpet of the Lynx Casino, you'll find there are five fun ways to lose lots of cash: Blackjack, Craps, Poker, Roulette, and Slot Machines. From a side-view of the Casino, cruise past the potted plants, the Elvis impersonator, the cashier, and step right up to your game of choice and chance.

In the Lynx Casino, Blackjack's played with a "six deck shoe." You can bet from $1 to $500, play two hands at once, double, split, and take out insurance. The Craps table is where you really get to play the part of a big roller. Check out the manual to find out how to bet. When you're tired of shooting Craps, head for the wheel of fortune - the Roulette table. Pick your favorite number, color, or combo. There's a slew of ways to bet on the spin of this big wheel. Video Poker's a nice change of pace. Bet $1 -5 a hand. The deck's got 53 cards, including a wild card to make things a little more interesting. For the ultimate Vegas experience, step up to the Slot Machines. Drop in $1-5 and pull the handle in search of three 7's.

If you drop $1,000, head to the Cashier's window. They'll give you credit for $500 two times. Once you lose $2,000, you're out of luck.

Place Your Bets

Lynx Casino is just what it sounds like - a straight ahead, no frills, casino game. Nice graphics capture the look and feel of each game, and there are some cool sounds, like the clink of coins dropping in the slot trays. This cart's a fun way for beginners to learn the games of chance, and a great way for big rollers to unwind. Too bad there's no save or password feature to enable you to save your winnings for your next Casino session. Better luck next time!
