We live in a time where video games, especially those available on game consoles, are more complex than ever. Instead of titles where you blindly stick to the directions you're given, many games today allow you to explore massive worlds, complete side missions, and/or play so-called mini-games. This way, you can experience new things and increase entertainment.
With the help of the mini-games we mentioned, which are also available to players using Xbox 360, you can engage in various activities, including gambling. So, if you have a gambling itch, this option can be beneficial.
Of course, you can always choose online gambling for real money on the best casino sites, however, in the meantime, playing Xbox 360 games with gambling activities can help you raise your game to a higher level before you delve into popular casino options, such as blackjack, baccarat, poker, slots, and more. After all, casino-style Xbox games curate a low-stakes, no-risk environment to hone your gambling skills – understanding probabilities, betting strategies, and bankroll management.
In this guide we have prepared for you, we will look at some great games that fall into this category. Let's roll!
Saints Row 2
Even though it was released in 2008, this action-adventure game by THQ and Volition is still popular among Xbox 360 players. Saints Row 2, as you probably guessed, is the second installment in the iconic Saints Row series. A lot of action is promised to players. Still, one of the most interesting things about this game is the opportunity to get involved in various gambling activities.
So, when you play Saints Row 2, you can visit the Crash Landing nightclub in Huntersfield, the Poseidon's Palace in Stilwater Boardwalk, or the Student Union HQ in Stilwater University and play poker and blackjack.

In Old World Blues, the residents of the Mojave have long assumed the trackless wastes of the 'Big Empty' are a no-man's-land, a desolate stretch where no living thing can survive. In Old World Blues, you discover that is far from the truth....
After being transported to the Big MT research crater, you find you're the only hope of saving the "Think Tank" – a strange group of post-human researchers who inhabit the facility. They enlist your aid to save them from their own experiments - experiments that have gone horribly out of control. As you explore the huge stretch of the Big Empty crater and its many underground labs, you’ll confront strange mutated animals, battle terrifying new atomic robots, and discover a new home base to call your own.

According to the Facebook page of actor Danny Trejo, (The star of Machete) Call of Duty Black ops Zombie Map pack 2 production is already in progress and will feature 4 Movie/TV stars.
Each with past roles in horror style roles that fit in nicely with the Zombie genre. The actors are being put in motion capture suits so we are assuming they will be playing themselves each as a character from one of their past roles.
So who will we have and what roles from the past will they bring to the game? Well the first is known, the later not sure but we can guess at it.
1. Danny Trejo. Danny has been in many roles in the horror/gore genre, Dusk to dawn to name one, but I am betting he will be chopping up zombies in map pack #2 as his most recent bad ass role MACHETE!
2. Sarah Michelle Gellar. Ya she is a petite gal, but her character Buffy the Vampire Hunter is not to be ignored. I am sure a few zombies will be no problem for this gal.
3. Michael Rooker This guys name might not ring a bell but he has been all over the movies, you would recognize him on the street. He has done plenty of horror type stuff in the past but I have a feeling he will be cast as his character in his new role on the new series The Walking Dead as Merle Dixon
4. Robert Englund Hell yes, one of the masters of Horror, you may know him better as the origional Freddy Krueger! But what role will he be cast as? It would be fantastic to play zombies as Krueger but it is possible he will be cast as his less known, more recent role as Ian from the 2008 movie Zombie Strippers.
