You can still make your usual bets because it’s an optional feature on top of three-, five-, and ten-play video poker. The rules are simple:

To be eligible for the Hot Roll feature the player must play ten coins per line as opposed to the usual five. The extra amount bet is the price of admission to qualify for the bonus feature.

The multiplier is awarded with a probability of 1 in 6 . The amount of the multiplier may be shown either before or after the deal.

When you do earn a multiplier it is determined by the roll of the two dice. For example, a 5 and 3 would result in a multiplier of 8. It adds quite a bit of excitement to playing video poker.

Video Poker Still The Key To Comped Rooms, Food and Beverage

by The Magic Gambler

Video Poker machines that have full pay schedules (99% and more payback) are becoming harder to locate these days. It would appear that recreational players are either unacquainted with the difference between full pay and short pay games or they simply don’t care. In any event, many casinos are cashing in on ignorant gamblers that place their bets centered on emotion or myths as opposed to the math.

Losing is something which knowledgeable Video Poker players avoid. The main reason they took the time to study the game initially was to learn how to win. When they stumbled upon a casino with only short pay schedules for video poker, they feel like they’re being ripped off. Sometimes the payouts could be so low that it’s not worth playing certain games. But better paying video poker games are still available. You may not necessarily find the best full pay games just like the past but some games are still a lot better than others.

Why Video Poker Is King For Comps
Generally, comps like rooms, food and gifts given by casinos are on the basis of the sum of money that’s wagered by the player. Comps are just incentives to entice individuals to gamble more. Casinos know that the additional money that people gamble with the much more likely they are to lose. That’s because the long-term odds are in favor of the casino. That’s not true as it pertains to video poker. The casino still possesses an edge but it could be pretty slim.

Proficient video poker players have discovered how to get back the majority of the money that they placed into playing the game. They accomplish that by utilizing proven strategies that give them the very best statistical advantage. They recycle their winnings in and out of the machines, using the same money over and over again. Those wagers are tracked by the casino through the players club card. Comps and benefits are then calculated by the casino, on the basis of the sum of money that’s put into the machine. Now consider that a well trained video poker player can play 300 to 1,000 hands each hour with minimum loss. At that rate it indicates betting hundreds as well as thousands of dollars each hour, much of it with recycled money – yet every penny counts toward comps and other benefits. And remember that there’s the excitement of winning with a royal flush.

That’s the short story. As it is in just about any hobby, you can find different degrees of understanding and nuances to playing video poker. You will find a large number of different variations of the games and strategies to opt for each one. Some worth your time and others not. There are many books that explain the math behind the strategies, statistical variances, analysis of probabilities, and the endless subtleties of the games. The good news is that armed with only a basic understanding of the games and a little practice, you can certainly do quite nicely in the casino. And it can alter your gambling life.
