That’s an interesting combination of social casino and tycoon building genres, and Seattle-based FlowPlay hopes it will inject some new life into what analyst firm Eilers & Krejcik says is a $5.2 billion social casino game market. The number of social casino players isn’t growing like it once did, but the average revenue per user is going up, so the market is expanding.

Casino World is a desktop browser game in which folks play various casino-style games while building their own casino/strip of casinos. The idea is that when players win and collect their fortune, they can use that to become their own casino tycoon to build and run casinos within this virtual world.

FlowPlay’s previous games such as Our World (launched in 2008) and Vegas World (launched in 2012) have more than 75 million registered players to date. Morton hopes that Casino World will bring even more players into the fold.

Casino World features more than 40 games, including 30 slot machines. That’s a lot of content, and it’s one reason why it took the company almost two years to complete. FlowPlay launched an open beta in July.

Casino World tycoons can play their favorite games, chat with friends, share virtual goods, host parties, and build their empire alongside thousands of online players. As with FlowPlay’s earlier games, players can compete to host the most friends in their online parties in nightclubs.

FlowPlay’s newest game enables for the creation and customization of an immersive city with interactive, social elements that allow players to beat the house. Players can personalize their Casino World city by constructing and moving new buildings, from luxury hotels, to fun dance clubs to glamorous slot halls. Over time, you can build 250 buildings.

“Many of the major buildings actually have interiors,” said Derrick Morton, the CEO of FlowPlay, in an interview with GamesBeat. “People can actually go into your building and go into one of the rooms there. So there are nightclubs and restaurants and bars. They go to your city map, click on a building, and actually go see some of the rooms and walk around with their avatar in the fancy nightclub that you built. And then you can host events at those fancy nightclubs. Now people come to parties and then there’s a sort of a competition for people to be your parties. So it is a social casino at its core loop, but much, much bigger metagame on top of that, in terms of the city-building aspect of it.”

As they grow their empire, players will be rewarded with additional coins to flaunt their Casino World mogul status. Players can also construct “Party Rooms” that serve as interactive chat rooms, where users can invite friends to chat.

“FlowPlay isn’t just developing the best free-to-play online casino games, we’re fostering social and real-world relationships through the communities that we construct for our players,” said Morton. “With Casino World, we wanted players to experience a new way to interact with the casino landscape, allowing players to build their own slot and bingo halls that reward them with additional coins. Now, players can create the city of their dreams all while sharing the experience with their Casino World friends.”

Casino World features over 200 new player avatars that have distinct personality characteristics, including movement-based expressions and soundbites. As players acquire Avatar Tokens, they can access new avatar characters with more exclusive personality traits, clothes and styles.

“There’s kind of a funny storyline as soon as you progress through the game,” Morton said. “You’re first introduced to the building by this rich cowboy. But he gets replaced by the mafia at some point. Then the mafia has to leave town because the CIA has come in and run them out of town. Then the aliens come in, and vampires. It’s a very big story that could take you months and months to uncover.”

Casino World is also introducing Milestone Rewards, a new level-based reward system that pays players in exclusive Charms, additional coins, buildings for the player’s Casino World city, and Party Passes, which allow free entrance into user-run parties. As players acquire wealth within the game, they unlock new reward levels that tell an interactive story of the creation of the Casino World universe.

As an opponent to the crowded mobile app marketplaces, FlowPlay has launched Casino World exclusively for desktop play. Casino World players can access and enjoy the full featured, PC-style universe without the loss of ambience that is required to accommodate a mobile device. Casino World is the most immersive, ultra-realistic FlowPlay title with unmatched gameplay capabilities and interactivity.

FlowPlay has also partnered with Publishers Clearing House, a digital entertainment and commerce destination for millions of US consumers, for a Casino World “$25,000 Charmed Life Sweepstakes.”

Participants who register for the sweepstakes by October 27 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern will have the free chance to win a $25,000 guaranteed cash prize. About two weeks after the lucky winner is chosen, the famous Publishers Clearing House Prize Patrol, along with Morton, will personally travel to the winner’s home to surprise him or her with the winning check.

“The sweepstakes guys show up to your door with these huge checks,” Morton said. “Well, I’m going to be showing up to the door with a huge check myself personally. That should be fun. So they’re doing they’re running a $25,000 each takes for people to find out about Casino World in general.”

FlowPlay was founded in 2006, and it now has 60 employees, as well as a development team in China. The company has been steadily launching new games in the social sports betting market, but it also got caught up in Adobe’s decision to retire its Flash software, as FlowPlay’s games were built on it.

“We got hit with the end of Adobe Flash,” Morton said. “We had 1.4 million lines of code on our massively multiplayer platform that we had to convert. And so that took us over two years, almost three years to build an entirely new version of Vegas World that would run on mobile, or on a browser, versus the last game that we had in the past. That took up a big chunk of time.”

As for the future, Morton said the company may experiment with subscription gaming.

“One of the things we’re experimenting with in Casino World is making it a more subscription-based product versus an in-app purchase product,” Morton said.

A more detailed description taken from the paywalled website old-games.com
Ever wonder if you have what it takes to own a casino? You'll have to start small and work your way up to the big leagues in this 'Sin City' simulation. Las Vegas Tycoon puts you in control of every aspect of the casino, including the placement and payouts of slot machines, gaming tables, video poker kiosks, and other attractions, as well as the decorations and fixtures of the building and the management of the staff. To keep your customers satisfied, you can tweak their moods with booze, extra oxygen, or even luck. Work toward specific goals in the mission-based 'Challenge' mode, or develop your dream casino on your own terms in the 'Free Play' sandbox mode.
Having never been to Las Vegas, all my impressions come from other media sources, like the movies Casino and Mars Attacks! and the TV show Las Vegas. While there's less drama and violence than those examples, Vegas Tycoon turns out to be an engrossing experience nonetheless.
At its core, Vegas Tycoon is about building an amusement park on the Vegas strip. Besides building the ever-important casino and theme hotel, you can build a wide variety of shops, attractions and services to bring people in and make sure they leave your lot with only lint in their pockets. Related to this is making sure you place your sidewalks efficiently and make sure there's enough foliage and glitz in the area to be appealing as possible. This should be familiar to anyone who has played a Tycoon game. Where Vegas Tycoon departs from those other games is the control you have over your casino, the only building type that you can enter and customize to maximize the amount of dollars you pull in. This might be the most engrossing part of the action - designing your casino from slot machines and high stakes poker games, to the more mundane necessities such as washrooms and security. It's all done in an effort to keep the highrollers coming back (or attracting whatever demographic you'd like to target). But designing the interior of your casino is made a lot tougher than it needs to be for a few reasons.
Not being able to 'undo' anything is quite aggravating. You have to be extremely careful where you place things because once it's on the floor; it's there to stay. At least you can sell an item to remove it, but at half the price you paid it's not something you want to do often. (If there is an undo button it may be buried somewhere in the chunky interface - it takes three or four clicks to do anything.) Another problem has to do with the micromanagement involved, in the casino especially. You can affect everything in one way of another, and sometimes it's not readily apparent how your choices will affect the things around it, namely, the flow of people.
Like most other Tycoon games, Vegas Tycoon is all about bringing in money to expand your operations so you can make more money (and so on). Vegas Tycoon is an unforgiving bastard when it comes to cash flow. There's no option to acquire a loan to add a multiplex so you can attract more guests - Vegas Tycoon leaves it up to your savings account! If you run out of money... well, that's Vegas for you (and a quick ticket to the 'Load' screen). One major slip-up can completely mess up your strategy or chance of success in the campaign missions.
This is what makes Sandbox mode more appealing since you can set global variables such as starting cash and population. While this doesn't have the directed action of the Campaign mode, some will surely appreciate it, because some of the Campaign missions are hard - jumpin'-mackeral-on-a-Tuesday hard.
I'm told that the Vegas strip at night is a huge glitzy affair. Vegas Tycoon does a fantastic job bringing that glitz home with an extremely versatile engine. You can view the world from a blimp or zoom in on floor tiles - all in one continuous motion while you appreciate the light and constantly moving sea of people and cars. You're even treated to weather effects and time of day changes. It's good-looking game and the accompanying sounds are top notch, too. (While you're in the casino, close your eyes for a minute and you can almost taste the pumped-in oxygen or at the least feel like you're in the middle of a casino.)
Overall, Vegas Tycoon is well above average for a Tycoon game (although not quite as accessible as a game like Railroad Tycoon 3) and can stand on its own as a regular game. It has its own learning curve, no undo button and a buried interface, but the creative aspects and polish makes Vegas Tycoon a recommended title for fans of Tycoon games.

Does anyone know how to make this game work? I’ve burnt it onto a disc and I’ve been trying to make it work but it said it’s missing DSETUP.dll
