It’s too bad that there isn’t a true sandbox mode, which would make the title a little more redeeming, but with only the story mode and its hand holding, I just didn’t have any fun playing it. But to me, that feels like a puzzle game more than a true tycoon game. Maybe having a tycoon style game with extremely specific requirements to fulfill is something you might like. I just really didn’t like Grand Casino Tycoon. The intentionally low polygon clientele look a little iffy, but the casino props are colorful and fun and it would be possible to use these props to make some really fun casinos.

It has a fun art style, though I wish the casino had a real background instead of just being a building floating in a void with a casino-themed texture behind it. As a fan of video games, I hate to write a review for a game I didn’t enjoy because it’s rare that a game is all bad. This just isn’t very fun, and takes away much of what makes tycoon games so appealing. There is no sandbox mode, so to play at all you have to have your hand held by the overbearing campaign mode. To play Grand Casino Tycoon you can only play one game mode, and that mode is a story mode where each goal is set.

But Grand Casino Tycoon has such specific rules for how to make your customers happy, sometimes it seems like there is only one or two configurations that will work to further your goals. Like any tycoon game, Grand Casino Tycoon requires your customers to be happy to raise the popularity of your casino so you can make more money. And those desires can only be fulfilled if certain objects are placed in very specific ways. Your clients, especially the named super gamblers, have very specific desires. But where Grand Casino Tycoon pulls away from the genre is its strictness. To do this, you have to do things that your customers want: like building slot machines and card tables, while making sure they have enough to eat, are entertained, and have a place they can relieve themselves. It has all of the hallmarks of a tycoon-style game: you are given a casino, and you have to fill it with activities to make your clients happy while making you a profit. Grand Casino Tycoon is a little bit of management game, with an extremely strict set of parameters for clientele that makes it feel more like a puzzle game. But sometimes I run into a game that dampens my enthusiasm, one where it’s hard to find any good. For instance, I think my reviews for Spacebase Startopia and Evil Genius 2 were more enthusiastic than the reception given by the average reviewer on Steam.

Interested in partaking? Check out the Whiskey Club.Įxciting news! Ringlers Pub is the home of the new Cosmic Tripster Clubhouse, a place to gather and enjoy additional Tripster perks.

Ringlers also features Whiskeys in the Shed specialty menus exclusively for our Whiskey Club members. It’s a great downtown spot to stop for a whiskey, ale or cocktail. Ringlers is known for its extensive whiskey selection: more than 160 from around the world, and growing. This place of pinball, pool games, great meals, handcrafted beverages and spirited conversations is back! Anchored by a spectacular mosaic-tiled bar, Ringlers, located at street level below the Crystal Ballroom, was opened by the McMenamins brothers in 1997 after years as an auto dealership, then glass company. In 2020-21 we had a shutdown of a different sort, but Ringlers Pub’s phoenix-like return doesn’t feel so different. Montrose Ringler’s Crystal Ballroom was shut down by the well-meaning but stern Lola Baldwin in the 1920s only to reemerge as a different kind of dance hall, then later as a venue spotlighting the likes of James Brown, Marvin Gaye, the Grateful Dead and Buffalo Springfield. Namesake of good-times, law-dodging dance hall owner Montrose Ringler, this pub has relived a slice of history a hundred years later.
