There are many books on video poker strategy, but most say little on the tactics of winning play. All of this information is included in the third edition of Video Poker - Optimum Play (above), but if you don't have that edition then you should get this book for the rest of the story. A surprising amount of valuable information is crammed into this easy-to-read 72-page booklet. |

"Many books discuss video poker strategy at great length yet neglect any discussion of tactics. Lao Tsu's The Art of War makes it clear that both strategy and tactics are required to win a war. If you don't know the difference, I suggest you read Tsu's book, because gambling is a war. You will win an occasional battle (playing session), but the casino will ultimately win the war if you are not optimizing your play with good strategy and tactics.
"Do not underestimate the importance of this book based on the length of it's verbiage. There are single paragraphs in here which could be the difference between riches and ruin. Although this book does not contain everything you need to know about video poker or how to beat the casinos, it does contain all the parts that seem to have been left out of the other books. Dan's format is almost frighteningly concise, covering in only a couple of paragraphs what took me entire chapters, making this a must-read product. No matter what books you have already read, this one will add to your knowledge and fill in the gaps, fully preparing you to venture into casinos with the confidence that you will be a favorite to take their money and not the other way around."
~ Frank Kneeland, former Las Vegas slot team manager
The casinos are our friends insofar that they offer games on which it is possible for us to have an advantage, but we are in a financial war to actually achieve a long-term gain. Although this book is primarily about optimizing your play on video poker, the concept of optimizing your efforts with good tactics is applicable to all games, and for that matter to all human endeavors. True optimization requires a combination of strategy and tactics that is tailored to suit your own abilities and goals.
If you are
an experienced player, this book will help you to get the very most
out of your play. If you are a beginner, then you should start with a
good strategy book, such as Video Poker - Optimum
Play, because, as Andy Rooney would have said,
This
is the rest of the story.

Some of these games may no longer exist, but they may show up under different names. When they do, you will be prepared.
In addition, there are surveys for Mississippi, Atlantic City and Pahrump. Although these surveys are obviously outdated, they give an idea of what to expect in those areas. There is a series of articles on tournaments, risk of ruin computer simulations for Double Bonus Poker and Jacks or Better, and the jazbo/Sorokin risk of ruin formula.
