Red Rock:Video Poker Capital of the World: High Limit Video Poker - Part 8  

Thank you, Tim, for your generous comments. The walking away part is probably the tougher of the disciplines to master. That one still gets me from time to time!😂🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

Yes Sir, Adam! Pay It Forward and it all comes back to you 10 fold. The Universe “wants” you to have it!😝!🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

Congratulations, David, on not only hitting your very 1st Royal Flush, but that your 1st Royal Flush, was a very respectable $8,000 Royal Flush. Just so you know, the “$8,000 Royal Flush” is the “Gateway Royal” to hitting all the bigger Royal Flushes of: $20,000, $40,000, $80,000, and $100,000 Royals. In order to do so, I recommend that you go back through all my lengthier comments to others on all my videos in order for you to learn and understand my perspective of the games. It will increase your understanding and confidence even more if you were to do so. So far, you’re about the 5th person that has reported back to me that they too have hit an $8,000 Royal Flush. So I’m as proud of you, as I am of them, for focusing on the virtues of playing a lower volatility game like 8/5 Bonus Poker, constant practice on a simulator that “warns on mistakes” to minimize their errors, and to “up” the coin denomination during good runs in order to hopefully hit a Royal Flush while on the “bigger coin”. Thank you for letting me know of your win. I am proud of you! Well done!🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎🏆

Awesome! Good for you!

Thank you, Chuck. I didn’t dig too deep on my play as to errors this time around because I was preoccupied with the soundtrack. But now that I’ve gotten this video done and released, I now know how to avoid the soundtrack issue in the future. Thank you for watching and commenting as always!🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

That's awesome!

Thank you, Kevin! I've witnessed the same thing many times myself.

Great Job getting your Mom up to Vegas to enjoy the California Hotel & Casino! Good for her to be hitting all those Aces on DDB. Please tell her I said congratulations! Thanks for keeping up with the channel and all your commentary. Take care. I’ll be heading up to Vegas on February 24-27 to hang with Slotmassacre, Bigkats, and Docs Gambling. We’re all going to be in a video poker tournament at Circa. I hear that the California has a video poker tournament that same weekend too!🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

@@johnsworldofvideopoker After the February video poker tournament, the next one at the Cal is listed as being June 16-19 ($20k with $4k to the winner), but tournament play is actually on June 17-18.

Thank you. I was a little concerned about the lack of a “live” soundtrack.😅 I thank you for not letting that anomaly deter you from enjoying the video!🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

Wow that is a great bonus poker achievement

Wow! I love these kinds of stories! It just goes to show you what you CAN do when you put yourself in front of a video poker machine and work your way up from there! That’s a great story and I thank you for sharing it here. Congratulations on leveraging those 2 $20 Bills into $200!🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

Bonus Poker is terrible. Four 3’s with the kicker pays 800 coins in double double and 2000 coins in triple double..

Believe me, I do go for DDB & TDB too, but only with “House” money won from Bonus Poker. Had I been on TDB with $10 Coin hitting all those 2 pair and NOT making any money on them, I would have run out of bankroll long before hitting those 3’s. I’d rather play BP at high denominations than DDB or TDB on lower coin denominations. You’ll LOVE BP on $50 Coin denominations. But I get it, and I’m with you on those other games. After I score a Big Win on BP with high denomination, I’ll circle back and feature some DDB & TDB for you. It’s all good. Thank you for your patience.🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

@@joelb.2685 True. But I sit and play while others around me on the DDB put 20 after 20 in their games. I'll get around to learning it, but not yet.

I love the grind too! If you get “way up on them” switch to BPD or DDB for “short visits ONLY” and try to catch a few of the better Quads (15-25 hands), then retreat back to Bonus Poker with that “dough” and use it to push yourself to play at an even higher denomination than you’re used to. You WILL be rewarded for your boldness!🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

You were fine. It was great to meet you and your wife. And I appreciated your coming over to say hello and congratulate me on that win. Slotmassacre, Bigkats, Docs Gambling, & John’s World will be at Circa on February 24-27. If you have the time, bring your wife and come down and meet everybody. We’re going to be playing in a video poker tournament at Circa. Just reach out to me through RU-vid and I’ll gives you the times to show-up. Thank you for being a part in the history of my channel. Thank you, Justin, for staying in touch and for subscribing to my channel. Say hello to your wife for me. Hope to see you two again some time. Take care!🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

Thank you, Teresita. New release coming out tomorrow or Monday. Will be stepping up production to a minimum of 8 per month very soon. Thanks for watching!🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

Thank you, David. I was a little concerned that without an adequate soundtrack that some viewers would not like it. Thank you for your generous words. Here’s some more video poker stats to ponder that you may find interesting: Playing a low volatility game such as 9/6 JoB or 8/5 BP, (along with practice on a simulator that "warns on mistakes") will help improve your longterm odds against the House. For those of you who engage in such "practice" you'll find the following long term probabilities when it comes to holding a pair: On"average" (holding a pair) will convert into: 2 pairs.………………….every 6X held 3 of a kind……………. every 9X held Full House……………..every 98X held Quads………………….. every 360X held Something better……every 4.8X held The hit frequency in 8/5 Bonus Poker is: 1 in every 2.2X If the House ALWAYS won there would be no casinos. Luck comes more frequently to those who “practice” and apply what they've learned to the game. May all your video poker dreams come true through practicing.😁🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

@@johnsworldofvideopoker I agree with David re: the sound breaks and your commentary. I always learn something new watching you. Thanks John!

Thank you, Margie. The idea of making a positive impact with this game is what it’s all about for me. Thank you for your kind words.🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

Wow are great odds to know. My wife and I are DDB players and have had many times playing with not even getting a full house much less a quad. Maybe with practice we could play longer on a higher denom on BP. It was great hearing your commentary during the no sound moments. We are learning different strategies to play longer and leave with a positive outcome. Thanks John for the extra stats. It really is eye opening

Thank you for your gracious comments. I am certain (that with practice on a simulator that “warns on mistakes”) that the improvement in your play on 8/5 BP will yield the results that you’re looking for at a higher denomination. Let me know how it goes. Practice, Practice, Practice!🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

I’m glad to hear that you’re heading to Red Rock. It’s a little out of the way, but it’s totally worth it. Find a machine with a “good coin spread” so that you can “charge or retreat” (up & down the coin denominations) as needed. 50¢, $1, $2, $5, $10 coin denominations. Those machines are right next to the high limit area in the middle of the casino across from the Rewards Desk. Keep me posted. Thank you for your kind remarks. Knock’em out, Mark!🌎🥊

@@johnsworldofvideopoker - Thanks John. Will do. We’re staying there for a few nights. Palace Station is on my agenda too. I’ll let you know.

Palace Station (for its size) is really an awesome, warm, and down-to-earth casino. The bar top machines in the high limit are full pay by the way. Go check them out. And have FUN!😉🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎🥊

Slotmassacre would call those “Dirty 3’s” because I got the kicker on the “wrong game”!🤣🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

@@johnsworldofvideopoker yes, i've heard that from him before 🙂

Being surrounded by TDB players while I’m the only BP player in the room is a lot of fun for me!😝🌎

@@johnsworldofvideopoker yes, i can imagine 👍

@@johnsworldofvideopoker hi John, do you have a Email address linked to any of your videos? wanted to send you a pic of something that happened to me while playing BP 😐

Thank you, Teresita.🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

Thank you, Todd.🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

Thank you, Luke!🌎

Thank you, Lisa, all the way from Atlantic City!😝🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

Thank you, Allison. More to come. Thanks for watching!🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

Thank you, Quang. I appreciate your viewership and comments. Slotmassacre, Bigkats, Docs Gambling, and John’s World will be at a video poker tournament at Circa this February 24-27. Please come down and join us. I would like to meet you!🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

@@johnsworldofvideopoker Coincidentally, the Cal has a $25k video poker tournament ($5k for first place) on the same weekend. Two video poker tournaments happening simultaneously across the street from each other.

Thank you for that information on the video poker tournament at the California Casino. I’ll need to start staying and playing there so I get invited to those tournaments. I won 1st Place for $25,000 at the last major video poker tournament held at the Rio in October 2019 before the Covid lockdowns. I hope to compete in more of them in the future as they become available.

I’ve never stayed at the M but having breakfast on their balcony at the café overlooking the pool is a nice experience in April & May before the summer heat hits.😁🙌🏻🙌🏻😝

Thank you and keep us posted on your Vegas experiences. Have fun!🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

Thank you for your comments and for subscribing.🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

Thank you, Kevin. You make a hood point. I’ll find a better version of the jackpot song. That music is a nice fade out song for the ending of the videos!🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

Thank you, Sheri.🌎

You may notice too that casinos offer banks and banks of DDB machines to take advantage of the “push” payouts on JoB & the 2 Pair. The casino knows their “bread & butter” machines: DDB & TDB. That’s WHY I focus so much attention on Bonus Poker. I know where my “bread & butter” comes from too!😁🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

There were quite a few of everything this time around. One time, I experienced a wild run of 21 Full Houses in 1 one hour straight at Palace Station. That was one boat every 2 minutes & 51 seconds. You can’t lose on sessions like those. And when they come around like that: coin-up, coin-up, coin-up!🤣🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

I stayed there for about 25 years straight when in Vegas, in 2001 I won 11k one Saturday, all on dollars, every machine I picked paid me off. One machine 10 handed $12.50 per hand gave me quad ducks, with four kickers. $2600!

I’ve not had that kind of good fortune yet at Palace Station, but I really love the place especially their high limit area and the bar tops in the high limit area as well. I’m looking forward to the day that I may possibly have a Saturday their like yours. Thank you for sharing that with us, Chuck!🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

@@johnsworldofvideopoker Twenty one boats is amazing, that adds up to a cruise liner. That same year 2011 April, I played a world dart tourney at the old Riviera.. Being a driver, I had all day to think, for four months I programmed I was going to play my best darts ever, being my 7th year coming to this tourney, and I was going to win gambling. I took two third in the world, [my best ever] and I won $9,500 on dollar video poker the first three days there. We are what we think and manifest!!!

Congratulations on both your wins! That’s incredible! And you’re right. We are what we “think” into existence! The 1st step towards riches is the individual taking complete control of their “own” thoughts and directing those thoughts towards a specific goal until it materializes. Works like magic. EVERY TIME!🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

I had a lot of “bottom of the pay table” “frequent” hits which kept me alive for the win. Had it been DDB or TDB, my bankroll would have been depleted before those 3’s could ever show-up. There were over 30+ 2 pair hits in the session which paid me $3,000+ to keep me alive. I have had better bottom of the pay table hits than this run, but this was a fairly decent bottom of the pay table run until the Quad could show-up.🌎

@@johnsworldofvideopoker Big swings for me last week. I was down 5K and had a nice comeback. Ended up breaking even for the trip that was mostly business. John-always great content! Thanks!

@Gooch Pyro "Breaking Even" is a WIN as far as I'm concerned because you put big money through the machines with every new draw being a legitimate shot at Big Coin Royals. If you can fade that kind of action and come out the other side "even" then that is an excellent job! Plus you got paid for it in terms of future comps. It's only a matter of time before you hit a $20,000, $40,000, $80,000 or even a $100,000 Win. Great Job, Gooch!🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

We can only hope, but when's the last time we ever saw elected officials give themselves a pay cut? I heard they want to lower the W2-G reporting threshold to $600. Yikes!!!

There’s plenty of players who don’t tip at all, so it’s really just a personal matter. I would never tip on a percentage basis, as they do in a restaurant because that would truly be ridiculous. And remember, the Local, State, and Federal governments are going to get their sticky fingers on your jackpots as well (at least 15%+). So I use a flat-rate system: $1,200-$4,000……….$10-$20 $8,000-$20,000…….$20-$40 $40,000-$80,000…..$40-$80 $100,000……………….$100 $100,000+……………..$100 per $100K Won The 1st time I won a $100,000 Royal Flush, I gave out a total of 7 $100 Bills to several different slot attendants. (Some even came back for seconds)! So, don’t get carried away with it, like I did. Nowadays, I just stick to my flat-rate schedule. However, at the end of the night, I may thrown in an extra “bonus tip” to the Slot attendants just for good measure. Tipping amounts are completely at the discretion of the player. Personally, I like to be a little on the generous side (because there’s plenty more where that came from) once you’re an established player on the positive side of EV.🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

Thank you, Gail, for commenting and subscribing to my channel. DDB is a tremendously good game to play. When I first started out in video poker 10+ years ago, DDB was my “go to game”. Even though I’ve only hit 2 Royal Flushes on the game, I did hit a lot of Aces w/kickers on DDB and those were quite rewarding as well. What I did notice early on though, was that DDB was either really really good or it just quickly wiped out my bankroll. In order to adapt to that, I started switching back & forth (on the same machine) between DDB & BP. Although, I missed out on all the Aces w/kicker pay outs, I quickly realized that my bankroll lasted 2X-3X longer, and as a result of that longevity, I started hitting Royal Flushes on a consistent basis. Since nothing trumps a Royal Flush, I decided to focus my attention on getting much better on 8/5 Bonus Poker just to see if this “overlooked game” had a hidden magic to it. Since I focused solely on playing BP, my playing improved immensely. With that, I started to branch out into playing Bonus Poker at higher coin denominations to see if I could hit better paying Royals. And that’s exactly what started happening to me. I started hitting $4,000, $8,000, $20,000, and $100,000 Royals. I’ve hit so many Royals at high denominations that I accumulated a small fortune from the game. My Intro to this video is just a small portion of all the Royal Flush money that I’ve made from exclusively playing Bonus Poker. So I got into the habit of hitting Royals, lots of them. Bonus Poker is a money maker because it has a much “lower volatility” than DDB. DDB tends to be a game of feast or famine (high volatility), while Bonus Poker is just a steady meal. As it turns out, DDB takes 2X-3X more bankroll than Bonus Poker to play it. Once I started making money on Bonus Poker it was an easy decision to drop “the thrills of playing DDB” in exchange for the “thrills of hitting Big Royals” on Bonus Poker. So eventually, the “money” became the thrill of the game, rather than the “playing” itself. The more success that I began to experience on Bonus Poker, the less and less I became a recreational video poker player. There is nothing wrong with having fun, having some thrills, or having a night out on the town for recreational play; I love that about video poker. It’s the greatest game in the world! And I truly enjoy seeing all kinds of players out there having a blast and enjoying the games. They’re out there generally (for the most part) just to have fun. But for me, and my friend, (Slotmassacre), it transitioned into much more than that. Somehow a spark went off in our heads and ignited a “passion for video poker”. Even though 2 years ago, he and I, never knew each other). I think it’s like golf, or guitar, or football or any recreational pursuit really. There’s a lot of golfers, musicians, and football players out there. They all love their games. But a few of them, somehow get turned on by it enough, to take it to the next level. Video Poker captured our imaginations. I can honestly tell you that I didn’t plan for any of this. It just sort of evolved over time on its own and became a part of me. I recommend that you get WinPoker by Zamzow (a video poker training app) and practice on it 10 minutes a day on DDB & BP. You will see a dramatic improvement in your play if you set the simulator to “warn on mistakes”. Overtime, you’ll learn to minimize any mistakes in your play and you’ll have more wins in the casino as a result of that diligence. 9/6 DDB has a 98.98% pay back, whereas BP, has a 99.17% payback. The volatility of BP is 20.9, but the volatility on DDB is twice that, at 41.98. Practice both, play both. And above all have FUN!🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

Thank you, Michael. Another video will be out tomorrow morning. Thank you for your viewership, comments, and for subscribing!🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

That’s a good question. The hand in question was: K♥️10♥️3♠️8♠️7♥️. Holding the K♥️ only, was the correct play. Had their NOT been a 7♥️ in the hand, then you would be correct in holding the K♥️10♥️ together (and letting everything else go) so that you can possibly get the Royal (holding 2 to the Royal) is a 1 in 16,215 shot. But to get that Royal you’re “throwing away” the 7♥️ to do so. Which also means you’re limiting the number of flushes you could get by also holding the 7♥️. That means you’re lowering the expected value of the hand by “getting rid of” a flush possibility. That extra card (7♥️) is creating the problem because it penalizes you for throwing it away by decreasing the number of flushes you can achieve (because you just threw away a card that can “help” you get a flush. So that is a dilemma in video poker. What is more probable to occur? Holding a 1 in 16,215 shot for a Royal (holding just 2 cards) or holding 3 cards to a flush and only needing 2 cards to complete a flush? Obviously, your chances of hitting all the flushes by holding the K♥️10♥️7♥️ is greater than hitting a Royal Flush that requires a very “specific set” of just 3 cards: A♥️Q♥️J♥️. So do we throw away the “harder” to get Royal, or do we throw away the “easier to get” flush? There is a “penalty” or cost that comes from either choice. But by holding the single K♥️ we can still get flushes, and all the Quads including even 4 Aces. If you hold the K♥️10♥️ you’re eliminating a chance of 4 Aces and many other Quad possibilities. So the rule is never to hold a suited K/10 if there is another card of the same suit in the hand (unless it’s a Royal Flush card). This sounds complicated to learn, but it’s actually not. The work has been done for you already. Practice daily on a simulator that “warns on mistakes”. Keep making the same mistake over & over again on the simulator, and you’ll soon learn (i.e. memorize) which cards to hold and which cards NOT to hold. There’s 2,598,960 possible hands. Using a simulator will (over time) make you very good at NOT selecting the incorrect cards. The simulator is the best way to master the games.🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

@@johnsworldofvideopoker I really appreciate the information and the advice.

My pleasure and absolutely anytime!🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

Thank you, Cody!🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

DDB & TDB are much more volatile games and require 3x-5X the bankroll to play. Bonus Poker by comparison is a more stable game and allows me to play BP on a higher coin denomination. I don’t regret “missing” the kicker hands because I just keep progressively “upping” the coin denominations to bigger & bigger coins during a session on Bonus Poker. In that way, I have access to Big Money wins with less volatility off of smaller bankrolls. My focus is on the Net Win at the end of the session and not on the thrill of playing the game itself. However, playing BP at high denominations, can be very thrilling as well, when the player starts hitting Royals. Bonus Poker players tend to hit more Royals overall (compared to DDB & TDB players) because the BP player’s bankroll tends to last longer. Royal Flushes are all that matter to me in the game. I have hit 37 of them with many being on high denomination coin. Bonus Poker is a cash cow.🌎u

You’re correct about the percentage pay back on BPD and it’s actually a wonderful game that deserves more play from me. And I’m the one that is missing out by not playing it. I learned that by watching my good friend, Slotmassacre, obliterate that game to great effect when he was behind in the count on TDB. I picked up a quick $4,000 myself with it on $10 coin in only about 12 hands. So it is a great game and very worthy of respect. Once I hit another Big Win on BP, I’ve already made a commitment to myself to branch out into BPD & DDB specifically. Another friend of mine has done very well for himself on BPD, so I am encouraged to hear you recommending it. Bonus Poker has been my bread & butter game for so long that I’ve literally have tunnel vision on it. But you’re right, it’s time for me to break out of my comfort zone, and I will do so soon. Thank you for your comments too!🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

Thank you Tammy!🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

Two distinctly different games! But assuming that you’re well versed on them, I would go 8/5 BP at Red Rock first (perhaps even at a higher denomination than you usually play). If you win on BP, then take that win and go play TDB at Red Rock at the regular denomination that you play with BP money. Make sure you’re on the best pay tables available (Red Rock), then go hit Cosmo later. Hit Palace Station after Cosmo (5 minutes away on Rancho Drive). Good luck. I’ll be rooting for you!🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

I like BPD a lot, and it’s a great game to leverage a big win out of! However, I was already down -$2,500 from a prior session. I was on my 2nd $2,500 bankroll, and couldn’t risk losing it on just a Full House win. At that point, it would have taken a “4 Aces” hit for $4,000 to get me to switch to another game. And even then, it’s more likely that I would have stuck with BP and then “upped” my play ro the higher $20 coin denomination. Then if I hit 4 Aces for $8,000, I would have retreated back to $10 Coin denomination on BP to have a real shot at a $40,000 Royal on BP. But you’re right, moving on to other games to take advantage of short-term swings on better pay outs is the way to go. There are many ways to slice this turkey for sure!🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

My general rule is 1,000 coins of whatever denomination you’re playing. 25¢ coin at 1,000 coins is $250. So put the $250 in the machine and make sure you’re playing 8/5 BP, (and that you’re well-practiced on a simulator that “warns on mistakes” to lower your errors) and then go hit the casino. 1,000 coins is usually enough to fade the swings in the game and gives you a really good chance to prevail in 8/5 Bonus Poker. You CAN do it!🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

@@johnsworldofvideopoker Thank you!!!

You’re welcome any time. Knock’em out!🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

Thank you, Janis. I don’t blame you for not playing during the Super Bowl. Those days are just for sports fun only! Congratulations on your Aces and Quads especially for breaking even after a 5 hour grueling session. That’s a WIN under those circumstances! I’ve seen the game, I know friends who have played it and like it, but I’ve never played it. That’s a game I would like to watch someone play and then give it a whirl myself. I wouldn’t even know how to calculate the return on that game. The further away a game gets away from 9/6 JoB & 8/5 BP, the more carnival-like they become, especially if they have a lot of bells & whistle features to them. Like Shockwave for instance. That’s a carnival video poker game. But some of the core games that you like are appealing to me and I can’t wait to check them out (SDDB). Thank you for liking the video in spite of its errant soundtrack.😄🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

@@johnsworldofvideopoker Some games I tried once but thought they were extremely high risk. Albeit I hit aces (Dream Card) I would not play it again or Ultimate X, Frenzy, etc. I saw them on many videos but finding a golden unicorn is highly unlikely to me.

When you’re as good as you are, Janis, on the games that you’ve master over the years, you’re wise to stick with what you know best! Keep hitting those Aces w/kickers and those Royals!🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

It’s called WinPoker by Zamzow available on iPhone for $9.99. It is perfect in every way and is worth it’s weight in gold.🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

Which casino market are you in (State)? Also I need to know the pay table of the “other” games that you’re referring to as well.🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

That’s a great way to think of it as being a “new deck” so to speak when you’re on a hot roll and contemplating “coining-up” to take advantage of the great run that you may be on at a lower denomination. I know there are “multiple” random number generators (RNG’s) in the machines, so when you switch denominations it could be that we as players are ”de-selecting” the “Hot RNG” in exchange for a “Cold RNG” on a higher denomination. I have noticed that my “hot streak” has evaporated the “moment” I coin-up lately…..??? Then again, I’ve been on machines where no amount of “coining-up” through all the denominations has stopped the hot streak and then I’m happily flabbergasted by the Big Win. That’s a very good question, as I have noticed a significant and immediate “drop off” of the hot streak when switching denominations. I’ll have to research that one a little bit. I guess I would say that if a certain denomination is on an absolute wild tear, I would stay with it and hit the Royal Flush on it. Because every time I’ve been on a machine that’s “crazy-good” I usually hit the Royal on them too. If it’s just “moderately hot” I would still continue upping the coin denomination, maybe even “double-hop” a denomination to see what THAT RNG is up to! Great question. And yes, I remember you from your other comments and I thank you for them!🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

@@johnsworldofvideopoker 😀 Thx!!

I always appreciate your input and comments. Thank you so much for them!🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

@@johnsworldofvideopoker I always assumed that there was one RNG in the casino's machine, and changing games (decks) didn't change the RNG. I've never heard of multiple RNGs before, but I don't know anything about the inner workings of the video poker machines either. Is there a different RNG for each type of game or for each denomination? Does a machine with different genres (video poker, keno and slots and multiple types of games of each genre) have different RNGs for each type of genre and even game? If different denoms are possible, does this also add to the number of RNGs? It seems that a machine could possibly have dozens of RNGs--or one. When we play video poker on our home computers, the computer's RNG seems to handle the switch to any game (whether single line, three play or hundred play) and denom seamlessly. However, when you switch games with the home computer, it returns to five unturned cards to start a new game. But when you switch games in the casino, the machines return to the last hand played in that game (deck). Does this indicate that each type of game has its own RNG in the casino's machine? I don't change denom much on a single machine, and can't remember what happens to the deck (game) when switching to a different denom while sticking to the same game. Does it switch to the last game played with that deck or the last game played with that denom? I tried to watch players switch denoms on RU-vid but couldn't come to a conclusion. Sorry for the ramblings, if not mumbling. I'm over-thinking this stuff.

Those are very well thought out questions and I would love to know the answers to them but I don’t have any technical knowledge on how the inner working of the video poker machines are set up either. I just know that there is more than one RNG in the machines but I don’t know how they’re used. But since all the cards are constantly being shuffled at all times until each hand has been completed in its entirety, I don’t think it matters one way or the other. It’s up to the individual player to learn proper strategy and apply it to the game and hopefully walk away a winner.🌎

Very seldom do I play 7/5 BP (and if I do) it’s because there is free play attached to it from the casino. Otherwise, I would never play the 7/5 BP pay table since there are so many 8/5 BP pay tables to be found. However, there are some casinos that only offer 7/5 pay tables and it’s their free play that leads me to play there. I’ve made $115,000+ (counting Royal Flushes only) on 7/5 BP pay tables and much much more than that on 8/5 BP pay tables. So the fact that it’s a 7/5 pay table doesn’t necessarily keep me from playing it. I call it a “medium pay” table. A 6/5 pay table I avoid at all costs and refuse to play it. Nowadays, I only play an 8/5 pay table, unless there is some free play attached to the lower pay table.😁🌎

@@johnsworldofvideopoker While I haven’t followed your play as much as Andrew you do have a strong propensity for Royal Flushes. $25 denomination even 9/6 JOB is scary. I’ve played that but like two hands a minute. I know some guys who play 7/5 BP which technically is bad ROI statistically but they feel those machines they play whether $10 or $100 denominations are luckier especially when it comes to Royals. But it seems you have an angle on casino memberships or the points kickbacks which is smart especially if you like fine dining and free travel awards. Good luck to you John. You seem like a gentleman and smart player.

Thank you for your generous comments. You’re correct that the 8/5 BP pay table is really the only way to go and I concur with that recommendation. I love Bonus Poker (even though it may be less thrilling than other games) you can count on it to ultimately deliver its Royal Flush rewards. I do enjoy hitting 2,3,4’s, SF’s, & 4 Aces on it (especially at high denominations). But I only count the Royal Flushes. I’m currently shooting for my 38th Royal Flush, although my goal is 100 Royal Flushes. My focus is $10, $20, $25, $50, & $100 Coin play. I don’t always have the resources to play consistently at those levels because my bankroll (ebb & flows) with the wins garnered from the machines. But when I hit 2 more Royal Flushes on any 2 (of the afore mentioned coin denominations) I’ll be well on my way to $1,000,000 in wins on video poker.

@@johnsworldofvideopoker Thanks for sharing your play strategy John. $50 and $100 denominations….you have to be feeling really really strong 💪🏽 to play that. I look forward to the days when you and Andrew hit $50 coin RFs if not $100. I’d wish the same for BKat and his Ma but that’s not their style. I was at Ceasars Palace on or around NYE 10 years ago at hit 4 aces twice within an hour on JOB 9/6 $25. I was thinking what if at the time if I was playing another game. At that time, I heard some screaming on the other side of the high limit area and a lady hit 4 aces and a kicker for $200K …. While she was waiting for her RF jackpot for a $400K RF. So it happens…. Best of luck in those quests!

The moment I hit a $40,000 Royal Flush, I’ll go put the whole thing through a $50 coin machine and film it all.🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

I have been dealt 3 Royal Flushes on Bonus Poker and I have hit every other conceivable combination there is multiple times. I have never hit a Sequential Royal. Although, I have been 1 card off many times from hitting a Sequential. I like hitting “2 to the Royal” the most because 2 suited Royal cards show-up quite frequently (in most sessions). So you hold those 2 suited Royalty cards (in most cases) with no real expectation of hitting them (1 in 178,365) but when they do covert, it is such a pleasant surprise!🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

He should since he's such a phenomenal player, (and that he and is wife are just the nicest of people), but he leads a very busy life with plenty of travel, so having a channel, is probably not in the cards for him right now. But if he were to have a channel, it would grow to be one of the biggest. He's an awesome talent and personal friend!🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

I’ll take your advice on 9/6 JoB and apply it to the $25, $50, & $100 Coin machines! At that level of play, I’ll need every edge that I can muster to defeat them. Thank you for that. I’m gonna need every tool in the tool belt to pull it off!🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

I agree with you! I found that out the hard way, and have since slowed my play down: #1 for viewer comfort, and #2 to help me minimize my errors. Most of my early videos were all filmed in one or two sessions (without my realizing at the time, that I was playing way too fast). I had to release them “as is” until they were all posted. This recent video with my friend, Skip, playing Deuces Wild, wasn't planned at all. He wanted to play, I happened to be there and just whipped out the iPhone, hand-held, and just filmed it. It was only afterwards, that I decided to make a movie/video out of it. I will be featuring more players in the future, so you make a very valid point. I need to coach them first, so that they play at a speed that's comfortable for a 'viewing audience". Thank you for your comments, as this gives me the valuable feedback that I need to better serve my viewers. Thank you for that, Janis!🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

The truth is, that over time, I’ve put in $100,000, little by little, over a period of years, and pulled out $500,000+. So the fact is, I have never lost a “single-penny” from playing video poker. I would have to lose $500,000 to “break-even”. The Gospel According To John. And the Truth will set you free!🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎
