Expert Software Hits The Jackpot With Casino CD

Realistic casino sound effects, stunning 3D graphics, and informative
on-screen playing tips bring Casino interaction home

CORAL GABLES, FL (September 22, 1995) -- Expert Software, Inc., a leading
provider of affordable consumer software, announced today the introduction
of Casino CD. Expert's newest title offers seven high-rolling games with
3D graphics of Baccarat, Blackjack, Roulette, Keno, Slot Machines, Video
Poker, and Craps. Casino CD has a suggested retail price of $19.95. 

"We decided to maximize multimedia technologies by bringing the sights and
sounds of the casino right into the home," said Sue Currier, president of
Expert Software. "Casino CD offers many advantages not found nor allowed
at the casinos such as the ability to count cards, change playing odds,
and learn about the techniques of each game while playing via on-line
help." 

Welcome to the main Casino room, a life-like 3-D opening screen, where
lavish scenery and bustling sounds entice you into the high-stakes world
of Casino CD. Whether willing to bet all your cybercash or just want to
test your luck on the slots, select from one of Casino's seven games by
simply clicking onto the game table or slot machine icons. Casino CD's
realistic transitional screens include the vibrant green game tables and
detailed slot machine, complete with croupiers and players. 

The sound of chips being tossed on a table, 'clang, clang' of slot
machines, the 'ding' of video poker machines, and the 'whir' of the
roulette wheel are just some of the various audio affects that accompany
you in Casino CD. To increase your adrenaline, dealers can be heard
announcing common casino remarks such as "You're a winner," and "You've
busted," throughout the games. 

All the subtleties present in high-roller casinos are incorporated and
offered in each Casino CD game. Playing the slot machine replicates the
actual arm movement of the slots by clicking on the detailed coin slot and
lever. Players can place over 150 betting options in Roulette which
includes a standard casino board, as do Baccarat, Craps, and Blackjack
"21". Blackjack "21" permits all the intricate casino rules such as
placing bets with 'insurance,' 'split aces,' and 'double down on bets.' 

Casino CD's informative on-line help includes: glossary of casino terms,
explicative and easy-to-learn game playing instructions and rules, and
definitions of winning hands complete with visuals. On-line assistance is
easily accessed by clicking on Casino CD's hanging alphabetically selected
tool bar.

- Choice of opening stakes from $1,000 to $5,000 
- Automatic tracking capabilities
