Gamers expecting thrills should place their bets elsewhere. This Nugget is anything but golden.

Interested in a non-medicinal remedy for chronic insomnia? Look no further: Golden Nugget�s uninspired collection of casino games will numb your mind seconds after viewing the title screen.

Card sharks may admire the wide variety of available games, which range from blackjack to slot machines, but Nugget lacks the innovation to make you spring for this cart instead of a handheld gambling toy. If that�s not enough to scare you away, Nugget�s casino gambling is poorly presented. The game sports some nice, if simplistic, 3D graphics, but many of the card games lack sharp detail and intuitive organization. The sounds are hypnotically dull, and the average controls are a disappointment.

Gamers expecting thrills should place their bets elsewhere. This Nugget is anything but golden.
