1992 Action
Vegas Stakes is a handheld casino simulation that brings the neon‑lit feel of a Las Vegas trip to the Game Boy. The North‑American release in December 1995 is a stripped‑down version of its SNES predecessor, compatible with the Super Game Boy and even using the same decorative borders from the console edition. Players start with $1,000 and can wander through four distinct casinos, trying their luck at blackjack, poker, craps, roulette and slot machines while encountering a handful of quirky patron interactions. Unlike the SNES title, the portable version drops the multiplayer mode and the traveling party characters—Cliff, Maria, Isabelle and Richard—so the focus stays on solo gambling. If you run out of cash, the game ends with a simple but memorable image of a man holding out his empty pockets, a stark reminder of the high stakes you’ve just faced.
In the Game Boy version of Vegas Stakes, the player heads to Las Vegas with just $1,000 in pocket. The goal is to gamble across the city’s casinos and turn that modest stake into $10 million.
