The Fable II Pub Games include three exciting casino-style games set in the world of Lionhead's award-winning Fable® series. The games include Fortune's Tower (a pyramid card game in which each row can make or break your fortunes), Keystone (a game of dice and chance with numerous betting options), and Spinnerbox (where luck is everything). When you get the retail version of Fable II, you can transfer gold and unique items that you've won in these pub games to your characters in the world of Albion. [source]

Name: Fable II Pub Games
Genre: Gambling
Platform: Xbox Live Arcade

Fable II Pub Games has gone live today allowing anyone who preordered the game (if promotional code works) or wants to purchase it on Xbox Live to begin collecting gold, items, and concept art. The gimmick of being able to begin accumulating wealth before beginning Fable II is interesting, and as long as the Pub Games are fun I could have seen this as being a huge addition to the game. This, sadly, was not the case.

The three games included are Fortune's Tower, Keystone, and Spinnerbox. Spinnerbox is a play off of a slot machine, instead placed in a small triangular box with different spinning coins. The only real say you have in the game is how much you want to bet and when to spin, so it’s really a game of complete chance. Keystone works like a strange mix of roulette and craps, where you place different chips on numbers, colors and symbols to guess what number three dice will roll up.
