DO NOT DRINK WHILE PLAYING!!!!!#1

ALWAYS PLAY THE BEST POSSIBLE PAYOUT(FP)

BE PREPARED TO TAKE AN ASS KICKING, BECAUSE YOU PROBABLY WILL(NO SH*T)

TAKE $500 OUT BACK, SET IT ON FIRE, IF THAT DOES NOT PHASE YOU, YOUR ARE READY TO TAKE THE PLUNGE.

IN ALL SERIOUSNESS, I AM DRUNK, BUT YOU HAVE TO KNOW YOUR LIMITS IF YOU VENTURE INTO VP, IT IS A WHOLE DIFFERENT BALLPARK, JUST ASK FISH.

IT IS SOMETHING YOU HAVE TO EXPERIENCE, NOT HEAR FROM OTHERS.

1. Know perfect strategy for every hand on any machine you are playing. If not certain, refer to your strategy card.

2. Play only 100%+ return machines. Quick examples would be 10/7 double bonus and full-pay dueces wild. There are many 100%+ machines, but these are far and away the two most popular.

3. Understand and know your risk of ruin when on any play. Have an adequate bankroll in other words and expect big swings in the trenches of video poker.

4. Always use a slot card and know every aspect of it, including the exact % it adds to a particular video poker machine.

5. Never ever play when tired, drunk, or distracted in anyway......play at a speed that allows you to play every hand perfectly according to the strategy.

6. Look and search for casino promotions. Surprisingly, only a very small handful of individuals take advantage of these, mostly video poker professionals. At times the advantages found with these are huge.

7. Consider the state of Nevada has your #1 source to play at, if for no other reason than you know you are playing a fair game 99.9% of the time, as the state has strict guidelines with regulations. They also have by far the greatest amount of any 100+% games.

8. Keep an accurate and neat diary of your video poker play. This will serve you many purposes, the two most important being it will enable you to study your play and the other is it will provide you with substantial tax information come April 15th.

9. Stay current with the latest that the world of video poker has to offer by reading books, subscribing to newsletters, and visiting websites that are geared for the video poker professional as well as recreational player.

10. Learn to enjoy the game, even when you experience incredible losing droughts, which you ultimately will with this gambling venture. Keep faith in knowing that as long as you are playing a 100+% machine in a regulated environment with perfect strategy, you will come out ahead in the longterm. Learn to accept the swings, however great they are.

The "pay table" is either listed on the machine or viewable as a pay table screen. The % return has to be calculated, although some places advertize the return.

"Winpoker" a programme from http://www.zamzone.com/ is recognized as the best in the field. It has payback %, allows % calculation for any new machine and provides practice and training for the player. It is available for preview before paying.

Yes, you can plug any of the paytables into the program and you will instantly know if a game is 100%+ or more..........especially valuable for rare machines and progressives. Remember, the payback is based on PERFECT play.

Here is a link to the various DOUBLE BONUS games and their respective paytables and what the return would be with perfect play.
