Casino Inc is an incredibly fun and addictive management game that offers a unique blend of strategy and chaos, allowing players to micromanage their casinos while engaging in underhanded tactics against competitors.
The game has a charming retro aesthetic and a quirky sense of humor, with memorable scenarios and mechanics that keep players entertained for hours.
Despite its age, Casino Inc provides a depth of gameplay that many modern management games lack, making it a nostalgic gem for fans of the genre.

The game suffers from severe anti-piracy measures that can trigger on legitimate copies, leading to unplayable conditions where machines break down and staff become unhappy, significantly detracting from the experience.
Technical issues abound, including clunky controls, outdated graphics, and compatibility problems with modern operating systems, which can frustrate players trying to enjoy the game.
Many players find the micromanagement aspects overwhelming, especially as the casino grows, leading to tedious gameplay that can detract from the overall enjoyment.

- “A balanced gameplay with enough challenges to keep you going for a while.”

grinding

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and frustrating, often requiring significant time investment—over 24 hours in some cases—making long-term saves feel challenging to maintain. Many suggest that the grind is so extensive that it feels like one would need a "second life" to fully engage with it.
- “This makes a long-term save feel very hard and grindy to come back to.”
- “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
- “However, as you can see, I've put well over 24 hours into the game, and while it is very tedious and frustrating at times, it is very much possible to play!”

monetization
6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
100%
Players express frustration with the monetization model, which heavily relies on advertisements and in-game purchases, making significant portions of the game feel unplayable without spending money. The inability to access essential features like transport and advertising without financial investment detracts from the overall experience.
- “Making half of the game unplayable, in my opinion, as you cannot set up transport, buy advertising, or buildings.”
- “Advertising, transportation, and expansion all come into play here.”
- “Now normal people could just make more advertisements, adjust slot machine payouts, and start casino shuttle routes.”
stability
6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
100%
The game suffers from significant stability issues, including non-functional animations, frequent freezes, and problems with save files becoming unloadable.

- “Animations don't work, the game freezes, and saves are unloadable.”
- “Buggy when trying to get the bouncers/guards to take action.”

Players have noted that the game's optimization is lacking, particularly in the final scenario, which can become excessively difficult if players perform well early on, as the goals adjust accordingly. Suggestions for improvement include implementing a staff manager feature to help manage performance and raises.
- “The last scenario is a massive slog (and almost impossible if you did too well at the beginning of the scenario since the goals are adjusted based on your past performance).”
- “Maybe putting a staff manager to suggest raises and bad performance stars or something to this effect.”
