From Publishers Weekly
Former math teacher Boyd's guide to winning bucketfuls of change is not for the casual casino-goer: readers will come across sentences like "the mathematically correct way to play any dealt hand is based on the stated payout table in conjunction with statistical probabilities"; be required to keep straight variances, expected returns and expected values (some are percentages; some are currency equivalents); and learn how to read seemingly cryptic charts before sinking their teeth into the meat of Boyd's strategies. But, for the left-brained set, Boyd's book is a boon: she excels in breaking down which hands to play, which types of video poker games offer better chances of payouts for large and small bankrolls, betting strategies and the different types of casinos and games readers can expect to find across the country. Readers who already know their way around a Harrah's will want to skip the sections dealing with gambling addiction, budgets and casino etiquette and cut to the discreetly pocketable payout charts and the approximately 40 pages Boyd dedicates to strategy. Savvy video poker players could win back the cover price in a night.

This book is an absolute gem for anybody who wants to learn the game or is an experienced video poker player. I was recently in Las Vegas and had no problem finding every game recommended and there were several. You have to follow the easy directions for reading the payouts for each hand, which is explained in a way that everybody will understand. Some games like 9/6 jacks or better are in the same casino as 7/5 or 6/5 jacks or better. You should play the 9/6 game.I took the table which was in the book with me.
The book tells you everything you need to know to play video poker. Even though I have been playing for a long time I did not know the use of all the buttons until I read this book. Also,there are many untrue statements about video poker are passed from player to player. This book makes it clear which things are true and which things are false.
I removed the cards from the back of the book and took them to the casino. The cards tell you how to play the game, so there is a different card for each game. Since I have been using the cards which are very easy I have won more times than I did in the past. That is why I bought several copies to give as gifts for my friends who play.
This is the most up to date book on video poker and if you want to either learn to play or improve your play then you will want to own this book.
Even if you are a good player the cards are worth more than the price of the book. I don't know anybody that plays all of the games perfect and that is why you should have this book even if you have played a lot.
If you play in casinos outside of Las Vegas then you can still find the games that are recommended. You do have to read the book and check the payout tables.
