Confessions of a Video Poker Winner: Revealing Answers for Casual Gamblers Who Seek the Real Truth Behind a Beatable Game
Finally, a book about gaming written for the Average Joe and Jane who seek astonishing returns but don't have time to make Video Poker their full-time careers. Heck, they don't even have time to make Video Poker their part-time careers! Perhaps you only visit Vegas or some other gaming venue once every year or more. You can't invest a ton of time in mastering a game that you might only get to play for a total of 8 hours. Having said that, perhaps you've read up some on Video Poker, you know how to locate the better-paying machines, and you might know a little strategy.
Sure you'll make mistakes but you know enough to cut down that house edge far greater than 99% of all gamblers around you. Here are the answers you seek, but not just mechanical answers. You learn exactly what you can expect, whether you play in Las Vegas or elsewhere such as Tunica or Oklahoma, and you learn how to maximize the fun you have while increasing your gaming profits.
Your entire view of Video Poker changes for the better the moment you read this book. If you happen to be an expert, it is time you saw the other side and learned how to have fun while winning!
When you gamble only once every year or so you want to have fun. Sure, you wish to minimize your losses, perhaps come back a winner once in a while, but this is your getaway, your fun, your enjoyment, your vacation.
You know the Video Poker machines can be beaten. Over time, certain Video Poker machines especially when combined with comps and cashback, can return a positive income over time. If you're devoted to studying the game in depth you can help insure that you'll be in the winning percentage but this book isn't about all that math. It's about what the Casual Video Poker player can do to maximize the enjoyment and fun and also to help eliminate losses along the way.
Other books teach the heavy, boring math. Most Casual Video Poker Players never read past the opening chapter. Why should they? They want to have fun, know what to expect, and gain some insight that will help make their play more profitable.
The author, Greg Perry, is known as the world's most prolific author of computer books, having written more than 75 titles all published by major publishers and translated into all major languages. This means that he teaches you about the life of a casual Video Poker player and he's a master teacher and trainer. Don't be stumped by a bunch of math! Instead you will gently be led into knowing exactly how to handle your next trip so you maximize your fun and profits.
Perry knows Video Poker. Although he now considers himself a Casual Player, he used to spend 2 to 3 months each year playing and winning this beatable game. He relates his more surreal experiences within such as...
- You learn exactly what to do if William Shatner sits down next to you and begins playing...
- You learn exactly what to do when 2 loud drunks sit on either side of you and begin offering Video Poker advice to nobody listening...
- You learn exactly what to do when you regret telling a pest 3 chairs down from you that you're too busy to help him figure out which Video Poker cards to hold...
- You even learn how to respond properly the next time someone tells you that gambling goes against Biblical teachings... (this answer will amaze you and not offend anyone--no matter which side of the debate you happen to fall on)...
...You've got to admit, those are VERY strange promises...but this is a VERY strange and ferociously funny witty account of the life of a Casual Video Poker player.
