The Frugal Video Poker Scouting Guide

by Jean Scott & Viktor Nacht

This handy reference guide is perfect for choosing the best video poker games in any casino. It lists a total of 184 different video poker paytables grouped by game type.

For each game, the most common paylines that vary from paytable to paytable are clearly indicated, making finding the correct version very easy. Once you identify a particular game, the guide gives you the expected return of that paytable. For most games, the guide also provides the break-even point for a progressive meter for 25c and $1 play. In addition, if a game is offered in Multi-Strike or Super Times Pay versions, those expected returns are shown as well.

Each game is classified with a Volatility Rating, which indicates how bumpy a ride the player can expect on the way to the expected return. This simple rating lets you quickly see which games are most expensive in the short term, in between hitting those premium hands.

With casinos getting ever trickier about the changes they make in video poker paytables, this is a great concise reference that lets you choose the best opportunities for your play.
