Video Poker: Why It’s Worth Learning to Play

Published by Z at 2:43 pm under Slots, Video Poker, Other Machines Edit This

Instead of strictly how to, I’m going to take a moment to post on why I think that learning to play video poker is a worthwhile investment for any gambler. First, if you live in Nevada, the machines are everywhere. Not that it’s good to play them everywhere, but, if you don’t like the hustle and bustle of the busy casinos, you can go to the locals bar down the street and play. Or the grocery store. Or the gas station.

Even if you don’t live in Nevada, if you plan on visiting us, consider learning how to play. Waiting for your flight home? Waiting for a friend at the airport? We’ve got video poker machines there for you too.

Also, although not at the airport, the gas station, or the grocery store, video poker is a great way to kill time and get free drinks. I always play if I’m out to eat at a bar and waiting for my food, or if i’m meeting friends and I’m waiting for them.

Also, although it is illegal to play them for cash prizes, video poker machines themselves are present in a lot of states for entertainment purposes, or for prizes like food/drink certificates.

Finally, video poker is relatively easy to learn, and to play. That means you can play it with your friends and still carry on a conversation, or watch the big game. It’s not like some other games which require your constant attention.

Yes, It is very mportant to learn how to play video poker! LOL! I don’t live in Nevada, but I lived in New Jersey for years and Atlantic City was only a few hours away. I have resided in Pennsylvania for 8 years and over the past years the gaming commissions have awarded licenses to several newly built casinos in the area. I have tried the video poker machines and the bigger ones, if you don’t nderstand the odds can make you lose $20.00 in one hand! Although e-poker is a fast growing trend, for me there is nothing like sitting at that AC table an dhaving a LIVE person deal me out my hand so I can win texas Hold’Em! LOL!

Momma,
Thanks for coming by and commenting. I personally like video poker also because, while it doesn’t teach a lot about strategy in live games, it at least teaches the basics (hand rank, etc.) Once you’re comfortable (from playing carnival games or video poker, or online) with the hand ranks, it makes it easier to focus on the strategy and on reading other players when you do jump into live games.
