 Video Poker is Different October 14, 1999
16 out of 16 found this review helpful
Video poker is not like regular poker and Scoblete explains why in this wonderful book. Many of the hands in regular poker are played with beating other poker players in mind. Not so with video poker. Here you are trying to get the best five card hand in order to get payouts and bonuses. Scoblete explains the strategies you need in order to play over 100 video poker variations successfully. This book is honest and explains what games are worth playing and what games aren't. He also analyzes the gaming regulations concerning the programming of machines in Atlantic City, Nevada and other jurisdictions. Not all jurisdictions have the same rules for video poker machines. This book is well researched and should be read by everyone interested in video poker. Scoblete also has some very funny anecdotes and stories which prevent this book from being dry.
Video Poker is the Game to Play May 11, 2001

Because video poker often has a positive expectation, it is the one machine game that really offers the player the chance to get the best of the casinos. The only caveat to that statement is that you must select the best machines and play the proper strategies on those machines. This book shows you exactly how to do both ofthose things. In addition to selection and stategies, Frank Scoblete explains how the machines are programmed and what that means for your expectation. This is a solid book and easy to understand.

I switched from playing slots to video poker after reading this book and I have begun to win more than I ever have in the past. This book showed me exactly which machines to play and how to play them and also what to avoid. It was very well written and the strategies are easy to learn and not too complicated. Scoblete is a very good writer who really makes it easy to understand.
The Best Book on Video Poker May 21, 2001
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
Victory at Video Poker is the best book on this topic. It convers all the best games Jacks or Better Draw Poker, Deuces Wild, Joker Poker and most of their variations. The strategies are presented in a clear and concise way and can be copied and brought to the casinos. There are great sections on how to judge if a video poker machine is a high paying one or a low paying one. If you want to have a good shot at taking the casino's money, video poker is the game to play. There are also sections covering video blackjack, video craps and video keno. This is a really complete book and worth getting.
Why Not Play With An Edge? September 3, 2001
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
If you like playing machines, the best machines to play are video poker. Not every one but some. This book will show which machines to play and the proper strategies to play them. I have made a photocopy of the strategies from this book that I use for certain machines and I bring it with me to the casinos. Scoblete is a great author. Since reading this book I now have won slightly more money than I have lost.
