What Is the Source of Your Best Video Poker Page?

What is the source of the information on your Best Video Poker list and how often is it updated?

The question is referring to the page on this site called "Best Video Poker."

As explained on that page, the information comes from the video poker website vpFREE2; it's a direct feed and it's updated weekly.

vpFREE2 provides, among other things (such as paytables for hundreds of games), a complete inventory of the best video poker at 537 casinos in the U.S. and Canada. The site is maintained by "a cadre of volunteer casino monitors and an active community of video poker players who help keep the video poker inventory up to date (and free) by sending updates" to the site administrators.

You can click through to vpFREE2 from our Best Video Poker page, but our information is compact and in one place, while vpFREE2 requires some searching. That said, it's good to search vpFREE2 in order to familiarize yourself with all that the best video poker site anywhere has to offer.

We also update the most relevant changes to VP machine inventory, which, sad to say, are usually downgrades in pay schedules and return percentages, in the "Video Poker Lost and Found" column that we run every month in the Las Vegas Advisor.

For that information, we rely on a number of sources for maintaining that column. One is Anthony Curtis himself, who is always out and about and checks machines frequently, especially the positive ones he's familiar with. We also hear from many video poker pros and recreational players of our acquaintance, who inform us of changes in machines that they find (or see on vpFREE2) and we report.

But again, the source that we use to verify video poker information supplied to us and to find changes that aren't reported to us is vpFREE2, which we always cite when the information comes from that site. We don't know any video poker pros or serious players who don't make frequent use of vpFREE2.com.

Let's go even farther?

First, vpfree2.com is the main resource to find / avoid casinos around the country.

But vpfree2 only does casinos - not bars / restaurants. 

Something that piqued my interest was hearing on one of the LVA Youtube videos was that the Peppermill has 99.54 JoB.

The Peppermill is a 'must' when the wife and I head to Vegas, and the idea of getting any kind of 'considerations' by playing video poker there is certainly tantalizing.

But to find out what bar / restaurants have what denomination & pay schedules and the comp policies?

Uff da.

Heck, YEARS ago, the Albertson's by Durango & Flamingo had a 10/7 $1 DB.  A grocery store having +EV video poker - whodathunkit?

But where do you draw the line?

Maybe the Little A'Le'Inn out in Rachel, NV by Area 51 has a $5 FP Dueces Wild, but who's going to go out there to check?

The monthly LVA has a small blurb about various places with a few places.  I'm sure there's more, but 'belling that cat' is too much work...
