buy this book if you are interested in video poker and even the software you can find by the same title but save your money and don,t buy the guide.

I used to print volumes of paper to try to carry this information with me to the casinos. This handy little guide replaces all of that.

While the book is pricey for its length, the idea is interesting. It verifies that casinos have tweaked video poker machines to make the odds worse.

The Frugal Video Poker scouting guide is not a guide for playing video poker. There is no strategy on how to play the different video poker machines. The book is a compilation of the different payoff tables for each machine. It is a guide for selecting the best machines to play based on the payoff schedule. The Frugal Guide does not have any information on the best strategy (how to play) the different machines.

Finally – just the book I’ve been waiting for. As long as I’ve been playing video poker, I’ve yearned for handy listing of the percent payback for the various games and paytables associated with them. I’d even started building the tables myself from numerous books on the subject of Video Poker. My efforts were never satisfactory because I never seemed to have the value for the machine I was standing in front of at the time – i.e. when I really needed it. This book is nearly perfect. It has numerous precentages for all (I haven’t found one missing yet) each of the popular games that you find in casinos these days with various permutations of their paytables – sadly these are mostly NOT to the players advantage, but the authors’ can’t be faulted for that. My only complaint is the spiral-bound book is a smidge long for the average man’s pocket and has a lame textual style for the little prose it contains that uses a sailor-schtick which I found a bit inappropriate. However, you don’t buy this for the prose – you buy it for the NUMBERS and the numbers are just fine.
