I enjoy this game so much. I was not able to find it in the stores but Amazon.com has everything I have ever wanted.
5 Stars hand held poker game
I have had a hand held poker game of one kind or another since they were first on the market. This is the best one yet. It has a big screen, gives you bonus points and has three different games. Lots of fun and easy to play
1 Star WASTE OF YOUR MONEY!!!!
I am VERY disapointed with this toy. It is impossable to get points. Because of this, the game is no fun to play. The old ones we had were great: You had a good chance to add points and it was more fun to play. My children stopped using this one the first week because it was so boring to play. Impossable to get a good hand and add points. Games like this should be a little easer to play, to make it more interesting and keep the childrens intrest. This one is a WASTE of money. Don’t even consider purchasing it.
4 Stars Replaces Magazines in the ‘Library’ at our House
I bought two Big Screen Poker machines two years ago and neither has left the loo. One was given as a gift to my mother and the other is at my house, but the joke is: If you can’t find us…we’re in the loo playing Poker!
Frankly I stink at playing actual poker, but rock at this game! I’ve maxed it out twice and had to clear the machine (a very small pin or the end of a paperclip can reset things for you…the button is very small on the right). If you don’t reset it, no matter what points you’re racking up the score will stay at 99,999.
Pro’s:
+Easy to hold
+Fun and easy to play
+Lighted LCD for night-time play
+Sound is an option; can be turned off
+Gives you the basic concepts of Poker
Con’s:
- LCD becomes dim as batteries fade
- Buttons can stick which slows gameplay
- Monotonous (but fun!)
- Inexpensive
With so many other gadgets out there that offer the opportunity to play electronic poker you may not want to buy this one, but I’ve had tons of fun with it and still enjoy relaxing on the throne, playing cards.

This is the second one I have purchased. The first one I have had for about 2 years. I play it every nite when watching TV during the commercials. Or take it with me if I am going some place that I know I will have a long wait, or in the car if it is a long drive. It really makes the time pass quickly. My eyes are not great so the light is great.
