Hoyle Casino is a virtual casino video game published by Encore, Inc. It was previously published by Sierra Entertainment for a variety of different platforms, including Microsoft Windows, Sega Dreamcast, and Game Boy Color.

Controversy and bugs

The 2007 version of Hoyle Casino was plagued by a bug in the cards game. A player would place a bet, and then the game would freeze for 30 seconds before continuing. This caused a lot of controversy. Unfortunately, Encore was not able to fix this bug ultimately leaving customers angry. Their only recourse was to visit the Encore USA website and submit a refund request for the software. This bug was fixed, however, in Hoyle Casino 2008.^{[citation needed]}
