Super Caesars Palace is a Super Nintendo Entertainment System casino video game centered on Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada. It is the follow-up to Virgin's previous Caesars Palace game. Super Caesars Palace was also released for the Sega Genesis and Game Gear as Caesars Palace. The Japanese version of the game was followed by a sequel, Super Casino 2.
Gameplay
The objective is to win money at a casino. The player begins with $2,000. Games include blackjack, slot machines, roulette, horse racing, keno, video poker, and red dog. The player can talk to non-player characters (a feature omitted in the Japanese version), who may offer advice and clues on how to live the casino lifestyle. The game also offers $100 scratchcards that players can keep scratching to try to win more money. However, if a picture of a bomb is uncovered, the ticket is void and all winnings are nullified.[3]
