It is not like getting blood out of a stone to play however, a player has to find out about a real strategy to win the most wanted deal:

KEEP AN EYE ON PROGRESSIVE VIDEO POKER

Overall, progressive video poker offers an extensive progressive jackpot for obtaining a high hand, or a royal flush. Although the probability of beating the royal flush is really nominal. Players must play with all the coins presented by a video poker machine in order to get the jackpot. With these, playing video poker more, win more!

BET MAX

On any given machine you can usually settle upon $0.25, $0.50, $1, or $5 games. With bets as much as 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, or the Max Bet 5x. So if you’re playing a $1 game, you can place bets of $1, $2, $3, $4, or $5.

Remember, always bet the maximum coins allowed on every hand. If you can not stretch to do this on the $1 bet, then step down to the quarter games first. It is important to have the max coins played when you finally hit a big hand.

VIDEO POKER BONUS ROUNDS

If the video poker machine you are playing offers “bonus rounds”, do not expose your money to danger on these offers, as you will be losing your way from most favourable strategy making the game even more of a gamble.

BLIND STEALING

Blind stealing happens when the dealer make his “raise” so that you in the long run, you “fold”. This is the moment you can “steal-raise”. It happens when you are the last one to make a wager.

You can use this strategy if you have an excellent set of cards. On the other hand, you can also use the “check-raise” to bait you opponent to wager and you will “raise” his wager after.

Alas, you can use “squeezing” in short-hand poker games. This will come off if you have an excellent set of cards leading your opponent to draw out of the game.

BANKROLL MANAGEMENT

You should set yourself a bankroll management that enables you to play more often play with maximum amount of coins. Let’s say if you choose $.25 and the maximum coins you can play per machine is 5, then, you’ll required to wager $2.25. It is very advisable to have a sufficiently money to gamble for atleast a hundred rounds of a game to achieve the maximum playing time also.

Video poker can be an exciting betting casino game to play and it is definitely one that most every gambler has tried at one time or another. Just make sure and pay attention to the rules for the game variety you are playing and play maximum coins each time and go for the jackpots. That is the way to make playing and betting video poker a worthwhile experience.

This guy must be a genius. I’m talking about Charles McGinnis, creator of several iPhone games. When he first approached me to review his first game,  Battle Trivia, I came away thinking that the amount of effort put into the game was tremendous and the fact that he was doing it part time was just, astounding.

Charles is back, and this time his latest game is a totally different kettle of fish.  Eschewing trivia for playing cards, his latest game is titled Poker Tower. Now, I’m pretty sure that most people are familiar with the game Solitaire, thanks mostly to Microsoft bundling the game with Windows.

Poker Tower has a similar concept, but instead of arranging cards in a sequence, you are supposed to arrange the cards into poker hands!

Different poker hands net you different amount of points. A straight flush is worth 10 points while having two pairs in a sequence of 5 cards nets you a single point. Each level has a target score to reach before the entire deck is consumed. Reaching the target score allows you to carry forward your score to the next level to reach the next target score.

With three lanes, players can form three different hands at a time. It really boils down to strategy and luck on which lane you want to shunt an open card to. I’m not sure whether the tactic of counting cards would work here, but hey, if it does, do tell.

The game conveniently shows the type of hands and the number of points they are worth on the left hand side of the screen. At the bottom of the screen, you get to see the remaining cards available (that are not yet opened).

The concept of using poker hands instead of the plain old Solitaire-style sequence of cards is a pretty smart one. I’m not much of a poker player, but the game allows me to reacquaint myself with the different poker hands in time for Chinese New Year.

Poker Tower also measures statistics but this feature can be switched off from the main menu. The only thing I find missing here is OpenFeint or some other form of global leaderboard.
