Victory at Video Poker
by Frank Scoblete
Customer Reviews
Finally a Video Poker Book that Makes SENSE, December 23, 2003
Reviewer: A reader
The strategies in this book are written in plain English and are easily memorized and understood. You would think a book such as this would be dry but Scoblete has enough filler material in addition to the strategies that the book is actually quite enjoyable to read. And it has improved my video poker game immensely.
Victory at Video Poker!!! Key Word: Victory...., July 11, 2002
Reviewer: A reader
Scoblete is victorious!!!!!!!! This was the first book I picked up written by him, because it was recommended by several of my friends. I figured he was just another gambling writer......but I was wrong. He is amazing!!!! I've never read anything like it!!! I read 2 more of his books after this one, and I only had great things to say. I'll definately be reading more of them. Scoblete is magnificent.

Video Poker: Optimum Play
by Dan Paymar
Spotlight Reviews
First-Rate Tutorial/Reference *****, December 9, 2004
Reviewer: Richard York
"Video Poker-Optimum Play" by Dan Paymar is a first-rate tutorial/reference on how to play most of the common varieties of video poker. This book along with "Professional Video Poker" by Stanford Wong and the venerable "Winning Strategies for Video Poker" by Lenny Frome are the standard references on how to play video poker.
These solid video poker books make the points:
1) Some video poker games can be beaten.
2) Some video poker games are sucker bait.
3) Winning consistently requires informed play.
4) For every hand, there is only one "best play".
5) The best play is often different for different games.
Video poker has been called the crack cocaine of gambling simply because it is almost mesmerizing - fortune seems to be just one click away. The combination of frequent small payoffs, occasional medium size payoffs and the possibility of a big win - a Royal Flush - keeps most players riveted to the machines, feeding them more and more money in the hope of hitting that big one.
The interesting thing about video poker games is that you really can make money playing them... IF you know what you are doing and have a big enough bankroll to do it. Any of the standard video poker books can show you how. If you can, you should buy and read all three of them. They will all give you essentially the same information but sometimes it helps to see it in slightly different ways.
If you can only afford the time and money for one book, you might want consider "How to Gamble at The Casinos Without Getting Plucked Like a Chicken" by James Harrison Ford. In addition to telling you which video poker games to play and how to play them, it covers a variety of other casino games. Another possibility is to get one of the better video poker computer programs.
Just make sure that you do your homework before you start stuffing money into the video poker machines. It will save you money in the long run and make playing a lot more fun.

Video Poker: Play Longer with Less Risk
by Carol Costa
Customer Reviews
Now I Love Playing Video Poker!, September 1, 2004
Reviewer: S. J. Smith "Author" (Scottsdale, Az United States)
I always had a good time at the Poker machines; but in the past not only have I NOT won, I've never been able to make my budgeted funds last as long as I'd like them to. What fun it was to take Carol's tips to the casino and try them out. Not only did I play longer, I took home all of my money, and some of "theirs" too. Even if that might not happen every single time, these new techniques just make the trips to the casino a lot more fun. Woo-hoo!
Great System, August 27, 2004
Reviewer: Avid Reader (California)
Costa's system really works. After reading this book, I went to the casino, tried it out and came home a winner. In addition, the book was easy to read and very entertaining. I highly recommend it!!

Beginners Best Shot at Video Poker
by Bob Maxwell
Customer Reviews
Oversimplified for the beginning video poker player, May 8, 2004
Reviewer: A reader
If you are just learning video poker including the basics this might make a nice supplement but I found it to be oversimplified and in desperate need of supplemental reading.
