Video Poker and the IPad

I finally drank some Apple koolaid and bought an IPad. Handy little gadget for web surfing and email.

BUT, I'm not finding any video poker apps similar to BD Winning Video Poker or Frugal Video Poker. I'm looking for a something that provides feedback for incorrect play. I have found some lame, just for fun apps.

It's a long flight to Vega for Spring Break.

Any help appreciated.

Although I don't know about the Phone App stuff and who has what, I do know that Bob Dancer has specifically said (at least in his "Video Poker For The Intelligent Beginner" book) that there would not be a phone app for VP For Winners because it is illegal to use any kind of device (most specifically an electronic device to figure out stuff) in casinos.

But, having said that, if you can use this IPad to get onto the internet, then if you go to https://www.vpgenius.com (which is basically a VP training site), you can go to one of the many games that are offered there and go to the training mode and as it gives you hands to play, then it will tell you when you make mistakes and what your accuracy level is (but it won't play the hand through).

RecVPPlayer

The best Ipad app for VP is currently HD Winpoker. It's a full trainer and VP player and includes 3/5/10/50/100 play.

Agree with Kiwi.
I bought winpoker app a month ago and highly reccomend it!
Best training app I have seen.Gives you options for all the games.

I've heard the argument that Rec mentions, from Dancer himself, that an app that runs on a pocket-sized platform would be illegal. Not sure I buy it; how practical would it be to enter a dealt hand into a smart phone and calculate the best play each time? How would that be more efficient than carrying a strategy card?

Got another question, though. Any VP trainer apps available for Android devices? Just a matter of time until I bail out of my old Palm PDA and buy something with a future. Thanks!

I can't find any Android VP programs worth using. If anyone knows of one with a trainer and ability to custom pay table, please post!

Beachbum, glad you asked this question. I also have been wondering about this. Our fellow LVA members know the answer to just about everything.

Since you can get the web with the tablets, do what I did and add "videopoker.com" as one of your favorites.

It has all kinds of free VP games on that site

The problem with the web is you have to have a 3G iPad which I do not. It also doesn't work on planes or boats out in oceans. A loaded app works all the time.

I'm hoping by my next trip to Vegas in May, S/W will have Wi-Fi on my flight
