Mixing the addictive nature of the slot machine with the community spirit of a massively multiplayer fantasy game, Zynga Elite Slots is now live on Facebook. Does it live up to design director Josh Gause's vision of a collaborative community gaming experience?

The problem with most slot machine video games is a failure to capture the thrill of winning big in the middle of a crowded casino. Launching soon on Facebook, Zynga Elite Slots communicates that feeling by placing you in a room with up to 149 fellow gamblers and challenging the group to take down a raid boss.
