Las Vegas Video Poker Check

I have another trip to Las Vegas coming up next week so I decided to check video poker pay tables on vpFREE for games at the two casinos I’ll be staying.  For this trip I’ll be splitting time between the Mirage and Harrah’s.  I check check other casinos on my iPhone, so I only checked where I’m staying since I play video poker at these the most.

There isn’t much good video poker on the strip so I didn’t expect much.  However, when I checked the Mirage I got less than I ever expected.  There isn’t a machine under $1 that any smart player would recommend playing.  At least they have a good restaurant selection.

Here is the info from vpFREE, which is a must read before any trip to a casino if you play video poker.
