Monte Carlo Games Compendium is a collection of 17 gambling games for the PlayStation from Midas Interactive. With this title, you can experience the highs and lows of winning and losing money without actually losing a penny. Naturally, you’re not going to gain anything apart from the minor thrill of winning against the odds, but at least you can practice your techniques for when you play these games in real life.

The games in Monte Carlo Games Compendium can be divided up into three main categories: table games, card games, and video games. Here is a full listing of the games included: Baccarat, Blackjack, Concentration, Keno, Let it Bet, Old Maid, Page One, Poker, Rich Man, Roulette, Seven Bridges, Seven in a Row, Slot Machine, Speed, Splash, Super Blackjack, Video Poker.

Don’t worry if you don’t know how to play any of these games because full instructions and helpful tuition are included as part of the game. Many people know how to play Poker for example, but aren’t proficient enough with their strategies. This is where you can improve your game by yourself and use your new found skills to win a few dollars from your friends.

In reality the game is a compilation of 2 games released in Japan & Europe:
- CD 1 = Super Casino Special (Vegas Casino in Europe)
- CD 2 = Trump Shiyouyo! (Card Shark in Europe)
