Installed great and all functions work to her satisfaction.
The cast of players are still there with some changes. Action is snappier. Better screen. Same game action.
Very happy with the game.
So for Christmas I went looking for a Hoyle game disc that would run on Windows 8.1. Although it wasn't shown as working with 8.1, I immediately saw a customer question and answer indicating that it did. So I jumped on it. Unfortunately, while it does indeed run on 8.1, I should have checked it out further.
Although it has dozens of games, it only has two "casino" games- Black Jack and straight draw poker. Not my husband's favorite, Texas Hold `em. He has played it a lot since Christmas and can't say he's very happy with it
For poker fans, his biggest issues are 1) the system limits the amount you can bet but doesn't place the same limitation on the other "players" and 2) is even farther away from true random than most computer games. If you have a stellar hand, 95% of the time another player will have something even better.
He has played the other games (mostly because the poker is boring) and noticed that for many games you need to have the audio on (no visual cues for draws, bids, etc) So if you are buying for your kids to play "Go Fish" you may want to invest in some headphones for them :-) If you are just looking for a lot of variety in games for kids, this is probably a good choice.
So, I was going to do the research to find a better game option, but then I heard the news. Microsoft announced that Windows 7 thru 8.1 can upgrade to Windows 10 for free the first year. Yea!! Evidently they figured out that a system designed for a mobile device isn't the best choice for a desktop so there are two versions for 10. So I'll wait until after we upgrade to look for a better casino game option.
Update 8-21-15 We upgraded the PC to Windows 10 and the game continues to function with no problem and no need to reinstall.
