Dancer is on target with new video poker book15 January 2009
Few books have been written on video poker in recent years, possibly because of the ever-changing variations and paybacks that appear on casino floors, so this title is quite timely. It focuses on important steps to winning such as how to choose the right machine and the correct way to evaluate slot clubs and promotions. Packed with helpful color charts and requiring some expertise in mathematics, the book breaks down into three categories: No Wild Cards, Deuces Wild variations and Joker Wild variations. In those three segments we find almost three-dozen games under scrutiny starting with Jacks or Better and Bonus Poker and moving on to Double Bonus, Triple Bonus Poker Plus, Double Double Bonus, Royal Aces Bonus, Double Deuces, Loose Deuces, Deuces Bonus and numerous Joker Wild variations. Two of the more interesting chapters examine play-of-the-hand errors and playing progressive machines. One vital chapter discusses bankroll and money management while another zeroes in on how to scout the machines, how teams operate and what to expect if your desire is to enter video poker tournaments. Mathematicians will enjoy Dancer's section on volatility, variance and standard deviation along with how strategies are determined. The book is nicely indexed for categories and topics should you wish to find topics like binomial theorem, cashback, all variations of Deuces Wild, meter speed or point multipliers, for example. The writing and editing of this book are some of the best you'll ever see, with a great balance of charts, tables and sample hands to help clarify a point or principle. Copyright Gambler's Book Shop.
