IGT Slots: Texas Tea - PC/Mac

This game loaded up very easily from my Sony laptop/Windows 7.An exact duplicate of all the slot machine portayed in this game.Sure saves money from obstaining a trip to the local casino!I ordered Texas Tea and Reel Deals 3 and both are great.No issues instaling and loading.Instant access to the game and i found myself getting re-aquanted with older slots i used to play.The first day,i was on for 3 hours.The bonuses are great.What i found out also is you can choose between unrealistic and realistic odds on the games.I used to play Buffet Mania,which was my favorite slot to play.The bonus would multiply for as many spins you have,which can be retriggered.Looking forward to purchasing future titles that are worthy of the quality of these 2 games!

I live in Las Vegas so I know all of these games very well (maybe a little TOO well). I was very excited to receive this and I loaded it up right away. WOW ! talk about fun and excitement. I usually play Texas Tea and Uncle Sam at my local casino (only in pennies) now I can play at home at $[...] a spin and make some real money !! These games are very enjoyable, although as I read in another review, I have to agree that Masque put in a few older 3-reel slot games that I have on my other IGT discs, but to be honest I very rarely play these type of slots. I love the video slots with the bonus rounds. If you purchase this I guarantee that you will be entertained for hours and it is definitely worth the price. I cannot wait for the next round of Masque/IGT slot games ... ENJOY !!!

I'm generally happy with Texas Tea and the other games included in this CD, however when you amass a lot of credits on one game and then switch to another, you will lose most of your credits. For example, I played Latino Machino today and got the "cucaracha bonus" and amassed a total of 24,050 credits! Thought I was doing really good and wanted to switch to "Uncle Sam" and play that game for a while. When I switched to "Uncle Sam" I lost 23,050 credits!! Very disappointing, to say the least. Can't figure out why this happens. It's not the first time this has occurred, but it's very frustrating to play these games, gain a lot of credits, and then lose them simply because you switch to another game! The games ARE fun to play and they are all pretty much the same as the slots in Reno, Lake Tahoe, or Las Vegas. It's just frustrating to play the games and lose credits for nothing more than switching to another game. I wonder if this is an inherent problem with just this series of games or with all games on these CD's. I have another CD of slot games under the "Lobstermania" series and really haven't encountered a similar problem with that one.

I go to Vegas about once a year and typically I play two things: Black Jack and Slots. When I'm losing my shirt at Black Jack I go for the mindless fun of the slot machines. And the slots I prefer are the "video" slots that offer animation and/or bonuses that add entertainment value to the whole "one armed bandit" venue.IGT is the manufacturer of some of the most entertaining slots that get put in the casinos and in this bundled set of slot games they have grouped some of their most popular with some less well known games.Texas Tea is the most popular of the group, so I guess it got top billing; however there are about two dozen video and regular slot machine games included.The games are EXACTLY like the ones you play in the casinos. The music is the same, the interactivity is the same. In fact, the only difference is that you don't have to put in any money - but then you also don't have the opportunity to win (or lose) any money either.Another great thing is that the software fully loads the program onto your hard drive so that you do not have to have the disk in the computer when you play the games.The games do tend to use up a lot of RAM as you play them, so you will want to shut down any other programs while you play.Really AWESOME slot machine gaming software!

I have a number of Masque slot games which I like much better. When you sit in the casino playing a machine you see the payout info at top and the game below.No matter if I set window or full screen all I see is the game. Not very realistic. Save your money. Shame on Masque. Nice games but very poor design and layout on this one. Purhased at my favorite website Amazon.
