Video Poker Forum

I seem to have better luck at the bar. I can not find a 9/5 video poker machine on the strip. Wonder why poorer odds seem to pay off better?

Mandalay Bay used to have them but when I was there last month I noticed they are now 8/5. It sounds like the others have changed as well.

[quote=lindyjohn]Wonder why poorer odds seem to pay off better?[/quote]They don't, but you think they do so you play those games more.  I like to to play single coin sometimes because my money lasts longer.   When playing single coin I give up at least 1% of the game and I know this.  I like playing that way so it seems to pay better to me even when I know it doesn't.  We humans are an interesting species.... 

some machines pay higher,

you can find 9/6 job all over off the strip

Where are finding the 9/5 video poker games on the strip?

I recommend www.vpfree2.comwill tell you what machines are available in each casino. It's 99% accurate.Only 9/6 JOB I know on the strip is in high denominations, $5 or more.Westgate is the exception, but if your thinking of finding decent paytables on the strip like MGM, Bellagio, Planet Hollywood, Cosmo, yadda yadda with low denominations...think again. At any rate, go to vpfree2.com. It will help.
