Book Reviews of Victory at Video Poker
Book Review: THE GOOD, THE BAD
Summary: 3 Stars
This book was one of the video poker books I read while I was still something of an occasional amateur at this game. To his credit, Scoblete covered many different types of video poker games in the book, and was one of the first writers to question whether the payback of the machine could be determined from the displayed payback schedule for each winning hand. Now, the word is out that in New York the video poker banks of machines are controlled by a master computer, and hitting winning hands depend on the master computer and not on the skillfulness of the player--the same as a lottery. I am also suspicious of video poker machines at tribal casinos and aboard cruise ships. In Nevada and Mississippi the payback of the vp machines is based on the posted payback schedule and a randomly shuffled deck.
The bad is that the author obviously is not a professional vp player, and scoffs at the idea that some professional gamblers make their living off vp (they do!). I believe vp is not the author's preferred game. Some of the strategy heirarchies are difficult to understand or wrong.
The author is prolific, and knows a great deal about casino gambling in all its faces. His best book, in my view, is "Guerrilla Gambling." He is referred to in my book "Casino Gambling for Fun and Profit: Second Edition."

Summary of Victory at Video Poker
Among the hottest casino games today are the video poker and related machines. Frank Scoblete knows and tells which machines offer the best odds and what strategies give you the biggest payouts on each. In some cases, the proper strategy will even tip the odds in your favor. Along the way he also explains machines for such similar games as video blackjack, video craps and video keno; wisely discusses money management and takes time out for bits of pure fun. Pay special attention to the chapter on whether casinos cheat at video games--it could influence where and how you play.Video Games Books
