It might feel a little strange to hear about casino games on the PS4. After all, they’re not exactly the type of game which will push a state-of-the-art console to its limits, nor are they a sub-genre which you necessarily associate with innovation.
There are a surprisingly large number of options out there, which bring very different takes on the classic casino games that so many know and love. Let’s take a look at some of the very best casino games that are currently available on the PlayStation 4.
The Four Kings Casino and Slots
This is undoubtedly one of the most popular casino games on the console (it has a whopping 11K ratings on the official PlayStation Store), and it’s certainly one of the best too.
There’s a robust customization system in place for your avatar, who you can continue to augment with some snazzy looking items with the money that you win in-game. As for the actual casino portion, you’ll find essentially every major game you could hope for: Texas hold’em, blackjack, roulette, and so on.
It’s actually pretty rare to find a title that offers such great variety in its casino games; most tend to focus in on a specific game. If you’re the type of player who likes to rotate between different types of casino game, then The Four Kings Casino and Slots should be the perfect choice for you. The sociable MMO elements which are also included are simply the icing on top of a delicious casino cake!
Pure Hold’em
Texas Hold’em is undoubtedly one of the most popular casino games going, and has been for a very long time. If you want to focus solely on this classic poker variant, albeit with some lovely, modern graphical flair, then Pure Hold’em is an excellent choice.
The multiplayer support on offer is excellent, and includes the opportunity to square off with up to seven other players of your choosing; or, of course, you can simply hop into a game with some shifty-looking strangers. The choice is yours!
The great thing about Pure Hold’em is that it is laser-focused on the one casino game which it offers, and it executes it absolutely brilliantly.
Prominence Poker
This is another title which – as you can probably guess from the title – is squarely focused on poker. It takes a completely different approach to the subject than the aforementioned Pure Hold’em, however, and is arguably far more ambitious.
This ambition is primarily realized in a single player story mode. Poker games take place in a series of “sleazy location” (in the developers’ words), like shadowy offices and disused laundromats. You square off against unsavory types as your custom-created character moves up through the ranks of players, with the aim of eventually defeating the “The Mayor”.
If that’s not your scene, then there are still the usual multiplayer modes that you’d expect from a casino game, which deliver a more standard poker experience. In truth, though, the appeal of Prominence Poker comes from its willingness to take chances, and its attempts to imbue your poker games with some kind of narrative and purpose. It’s almost certainly the most original casino game on the PS4, and arguably the most fun too.
So there you have it: three of the best casino games on the PS4, with each being an excellent way to enjoy a slice of virtual gambling action. All are worthy choices, but if you have another suggestion then please don’t hesitate to let us know!
