- What is the chance I will be $1,000 ahead at some point during a 20-hour trip?
- How does tipping affect my bankroll requirements? What about cashback?
- What is the effect of occasional play errors on my risk of ruin?

Don’t let the fact that this is an Excel program scare you. It is very user friendly and complete with on screen instructions and hints.
This program is very thorough. Every detail is taken into consideration. Both a long term and short term risk of ruin is calculated based on a host of user input variables.
The information is communicated in easy to understand graphs and charts. Very cool!
If you’re a regular Video Poker player this gem is a MUST! Highly recommended!
