Finding Video Poker Games

[suski]

On videopoker.com's home page at the bottom of the page is a list of pretty much every vp game ever created. If you hover your mouse over a game, a sub-window with the feature "Find in Casino's". How does that feature work? Is it formed from player's letting the website know or is it possibly formed by each casino telling videopoker.com their games?

I assume that the "Find in Casino's" list for each game is not 100% accurate because there are tons of bars in Las Vegas that have different games.

Any help would be appreciated.

It is based on data direct from the source, not player submissions. However, it will never be100% accurate, because there is a delay in obtaining the data and also because a casino may have purchased the game, but not yet installed or activated it on the floor. It is updated as frequently as possible but new games do take about 30 days to show up.

Ok. Thank you.

 Except in very rare casses, bars in Las Vegas have games that are 2% -- 5% tighter than local casinos in Las Vegas do. Sometimes they have decent promotions but usually you're giving up a ton playing in these places. These places are usually limited to 15 machines and can become an "everybody knows your name" sort of place --- but players who play there all the time lose a fortune.  To me having a good chance to win far outweighs the "friendliness" of a place. Others have different priorities. Bob

@BobDancer- Well said. I agree.

@Webman- I guess my next question would be how often do you get updates from the casinos and there lists of games? Sorry if this is considered nosy.

You know about www.vpfree2.com right?

[suski]

Vpfree2 doesn't have every game listed. Random Rewards is the game I was looking for, but its not an option on their site. Thanks though.

Hi, this is the first time I've read this forum. I heard about Videopoker.com on Bob and Mike's radio show, and after reading for a bit, think it is something I can learn from and even contribute to. I live in Las Vegas, and am very much into VP.
First question: Is "Random Rewards" a video poker game?
 
Second question: When I saw the topic "Finding Video Poker Games," it reminded me of how Bob wrote about finding good progressives in places like gas stations. For a while, I drove around scouting out places like local chain bars, grocery stores, etc., but found little that was good in paytables, promos, or progressives. One bartender told me that her progressive (16/13 deuces) was great because it never got very high. When I asked, "Why are you telling people that?" she said that it was a great game because it kept getting hit. I guess I have to be patient and spend a lot of time looking. Is there anything I can do to make my search more efficient?
I guess I should amend this to "Finding GOOD Video Poker Games."

If you can find him, you can 'stalk' Frank Kneeland. He is always at the best progressives, or so he says.
