Well for a game centered around a city all about gambling, I think it's pathetic that you can only play three different half-assed games, then get kicked out of a casino.

But yeah, Texas hold em would be great.

If the Devs had more time to put more games in I am sure they would have.

Casinos don't have poker tables because the odds arn't in the house's favor.

I am not a programmer but I also have a feeling poker would be harder to program.

During their interviews before the release they were saying how they had a programmer on staff who used to program casino games and that he was making the games for this one. So I don't get why they didn't have him put more games in. Slots, roulette and blackjack is just not enough for a full casino experience.

If you can simply re-load a save after going all in and losing your whole stack, then it somewhat removes the challenge. And winning a huge stack by going all in destroys the "economy" of the game, that you can simply get a fortune easily.

I'd almost prefer that a quest involved a Texas Hold 'Em Tournament. That I could get behind.

I'd sooner have more actual PLAY content. If I want to play casino games, I can go to a real life casino. Or, there are plenty of internet gambling sites.

No need. Waste of resources.

I can program Black Jack in Visual Basic in 30 minutes. The gambling was a little disappointing, but I didn't buy New Vegas to play Poker.

Adding more games to the casino is unnecessary. If they're going to add anything, I want quests, weapons, armor, xp. Adding more games to casinos would be a wasted effort.
