video poker question

This is probably a stupid question, but I just have to ask because we are going to Vegas in March. I like to play video poker and have read on this forum about full pay video or for example something like 10/7 9/6 pay. Where do you look to see if it is full pay video or the other.

you need to look at the machines - and know what you are looking for. VP is comoplicated, all games are not equal.

get sfwr and practice. Bob Dancer is considered an expert, his sfwr can be purchased on his website or www.lasvegasadvisor.com

read, learn and PRACTICE until you play almost perfectly.

JOB has less volaitility (getting harder to find FP but can be done) and is a good basic game to start and build.

get the sfwr, and even a strategy card for the game(s) you like and practice.

All the VP machines will have the payout table right on the machines. You will not have a hard time finding the payout tables. That is one of the advantages of VP as opposed to slots. It is harder to find full pay machines on the strip. Most of them are located off stip and in local casinos.

Another good site is wizardofodds.com. You can practice and it will help you find the best cards to keep. Practice, practice, practice before you go.

I found a 10/7 game at our local casino just last night.....that is considered better than 9/6 pay? It was one of those multi game/ multi denomination games. I was only playing nickels, just to practice and kill a little time, so didn%26#39;t make any big money.

I have also pacticed at free slots.com.

Where can you find a strategy card for Video poker?

Thanks.

So does 10/7 mean for every ten dollars you play you should get seven dollars back?

denvergirl,

This might help:

';So does 10/7 mean for every ten dollars you play you should get seven dollars back?';

NO! It means the machine pays 10 credits for Full House, and 7 for a Flush

I actually have some small wallet size cards with payoff tables for some of the more complex games. It%26#39;s worth it to buy a vp book, or check out one from the library. One thing to really watch is the game will pay 9/6 or 10/7 but only give you ONE for a two pair hand instead of the 2 they should give you. This could really be a disadvantage since you get many more two pair hands than others. Some types of poker one coin for a two pair hand is normal, this is why the little cards help out. You won%26#39;t find good vp on the strip, try Fiesta Henderson, Sam%26#39;s Town, vp near the sportsbook at the LV Hilton. Good luck with the snow denvergirl, Aurora has been good about keeping our street clear, but others have not been so lucky. Wish I was going to Vegas in March.

Thanks for all the help. I actually ordered a book by Bob Dancer and plan on reading it until all this snow goes away. I live in Highlands Ranch, cul de sac and our roads aren%26#39;t the best, but I can get out. Really can%26#39;t wait to go to Las Vegas, it will be our 24th anniversary and we are staying at the Mirage.

Always play full play, max coins for the best return.

The best source for this information is ';the Mensa guide to gambling.'; It has an excellant chapter on VP which gives a good understanding of pay tables and how to read them and about strategies for each pay table variation. There is as good a chapter on craps as well..
