Why has double-up been disabled on video poker machines?15 November 2010
Dear Jim, There is a programming error in some machines that is triggered by the double-up option when it occurs in a specific sequence of actions. If I remember correctly, the error causes the machines to add credits to the credit meter. That's why the double-up option has been disabled. The doubling option on video poker is a bit like video keno -- some players love it, most can live without it. I don't know that there's enough demand to make fixing the programming error a priority. The best way to find out whether a particular casino currently has machines with the doubling option is to call or e-mail the casino. Best of luck in and out of the casinos, Send your slot and video poker questions to John Robison, Slot Expert, at slotexpert@comcast.net. Because of the volume of mail I receive, I regret that I can't reply to every question. This article is provided by the Frank Scoblete Network. Melissa A. Kaplan is the network's managing editor.
