I have purchase most of Bob Dancers books and consider myself an "Advantage Player".

If you are curious about playing video poker and don't know where to start, this book is a great overview and will teach you the basics of the most popular games.

I also recommend purchasing Dancer's Advanced strategy books and pocket cards when you want to take your game to the next level. The advanced strategy books are very dry to read, unless you are very enthusiastic about video poker.

I bought the kindle edition and unfortunately it is too cumbersome for a book of this type. I would highly recommend buying the hard cover or paperback edition. I plan to when I see it in a book store.

I visit Las Vegas once a year. This book is a great companion. You can also purchase strategy cards for the various games; "jacks or better", "deuces wild", etc.

If you want to play video poker, this is a must have.

Lots of practical information & good advice - it's a book I'll refer to often to learn the more complex strategies of playing various video poker games & other ways of improving your bottom line at the casino.

Never having played the game I thought it would be a good book to start with, Big Mistake. I went to several casinos after learning all the lessons in the book only to find that you must play in the high limit areas of the casino to get the odds the author speaks of in the book.Your money goes very quickly and the odds seem to make little difference. I changed games and went back to the slots were I did better. My wife stayed with the slots all the time and did even better. Not sure if I will play this game for money again. I will try another author next time and maybe my luck will change in this game.
