Summary

Video poker is one of the hottest games to ever hit the casino floor. Flashing screens entice you to try your luck at one of the few options that can actually give you an advantage over the casino! Although most people believe that winning is a matter of luck, the fact is that video poker gives you an opportunity to make decisions. You affect the outcome. Why, then, isn't every player going home with piles of money? Most people simply don't know how to choose the best game and make smart playing decisions-or they didn't until now. Author and gambling expert Linda Boyd now offers a user-friendly guide that helps you gain the winning edge over video poker machines.
