Two Video Poker Sites"
Dateline: 04/12/99
In the past few months I have written about Comps and Video Poker. Those of you who are serious about Video Poker need to take a look at Skip Hughes Video Poker site. Skip is a regular contributor to Strictly Slots magazine and Frank Scoblete's Chance and Circumstance Newsletter. His site is one of the most popular on the internet for video poker players.
Video Poker can be one of the best games to play in the casino. Some machines offer over 100 percent payback with perfect play, when they have full pay schedules. A full pay machine offers the maximum return for that particular game. Not all casinos have their machines set to the best payoff. Anyone planning a trip to the casino anywhere in the US can find out which casinos offer full pay Video Poker machines by looking at the Chart of Full Pays Machines. If you are not sure what the full pay schedule is, Skip has analyzed 31 games so you will know exactly what to look for.
Articles you find on the site will give you some added insight about the games. Reading about machine selection will help you decide on a game to play. The article about Royal Frustration will help those of you who may be getting a little bit discouraged with your lack of hitting the "Big One."
I have discussed news and mailing lists before. The group on a list participates in discussions via e-mail. THE SKIP HUGHES GROUP video poker mailing list is now open to the public.
This list is where you can learn and share ideas about Video Poker. Frequent contributors include Jean Scott, Dan Paymar, Tomski, Jazo Burns and many more of the most knowledgeable video poker analysts, writers and players in the world. But you don't have to be an expert to join. The people on the list come from all walks of life. The one common interest in their love of the game of Video Poker. Whether you are a novice, a pro, or some where in between you will be welcome. The only requirement before joining the list is you MUST READ the FAQ. It will save much time and effort for all that participate.
John Kelly runs Loadstone's Las Vegas Site. This site is a wealth of information and news about Las Vegas. You can participate in a forum with others as well as find comp information and more. Loadstone has an extensive list of Video Poker and Slot Club Ratings for most of the casinos. He can also direct you to the Best Video Poker for Visitors.
Skip and John just have teamed up with Greg Brooks to bring you a killer Newsletter! Video Poker Player is dedicated to the recreational player who wants the latest VP news and strategies. You will find slot club ratings and practical advice on playing the games. You won't find any technical charts that take a rocket scientist to decipher. If VP interests you, this newsletter will also. They are so sure that you will like this newsletter, they are offering Issue #1 FREE. It is available in pdf format. Just download it and check it out.
Give these two sites a look. If VP is your game, you will enjoy both these sites.
Until next time, remember: "Luck comes and goes...Knowledge stays forever."
