Las Vegas Video Poker Research

I usually do a little video poker research before a trip gambling and this time is no different.  Below are the casinos that I may venture into.  I won’t play this much video poker, but it’s good to have the knowledge.

There aren’t any surprises.  Palms has the best pay tables.  While the strip doesn’t have anything close.  For all the crap people give Harrah’s properties, at least they have $5 9/6 Jacks or Better games.  I don’t play much that high, but I do dabble each trip.

It’s unfortunate that Venetian and Palazzo pulled their 9/6 Jacks or Better games before my last trip to Vegas in December.

As always this information comes from vpFREE, which is a phenomenal resource for video poker information.
