[Review] [PC]

I'm back!  Did you miss me?

Vacations are fun, and sometimes needed.  They keep you from going insane and taking a rubber bat into the office and staring at the boss with crazy eyes while running your hands up and down the bat longingly.

Shell Game 01 Or is that just me?  Anyway, I'm back, but I need another vacation already.  So, let's go to Vegas! 

Oh wait - we need money for that, don't we?  And there's no money lining out pockets; that's why we play FREE online games, right?

Well, you'd be amazed what someone can do with four coconuts halves and a small black ball.  Yes, folks, you too can play the Shell Game…online!

Bet your fake money away with a click of the button, and watch the shells move around and try to guess which one the ball is under.  Then see how far you can go!  Just make sure you're paying attention to the screen when the shells start to move - distractions like dogs, screaming children, and game article writing should be put on hold until after the guess is made.

 The only thing I don't like is that there is no "bet all" button to push.  My finger gets cramped as I keep hitting the buttons to make my bet on the higher levels.  Shell Game 02Hold on a sec... yes, you can type your bet into the window!  I wish I had seen that option back before level 18!

Also, you can't bet more that 9,999,999,999 - which you go over around level 28 if you always bet the maximum each time.  Which sucks, because I'm greedy and want to bet it ALL.  Of course, around level 29 it starts hurting when you don't blink for the time it takes to shuffle the shells, so bring eyedrops as well if you really want to test your skill.

Me?  My eyes started to bleed around level 42 so I had to cash out, walking away with a sweet amount of 144,763,545,587.  WAHOO!  I'm a billionaire!

I get to keep that... right?  Oh yeah... it's exists only in that little world called "Make Believe".  Oh well, back to work.  But not you; you all go play the game and enjoy.  Just don't let the boss catch you.
