3.0 out of 5 stars Not a '9-6 Jacks or Better' Book, February 6, 2000

By	Andrew J. Maglietta (Bucks County, Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews

For strategies for 9-6 Jacks or better, Duces Wild and Joker Wild machines, try another book.

Stanford Wong is the master of casino gambling. I respect his writings on all aspects of the casino. I just want to let people know that this book goes into great detail about the 8-5 Progressive Jacks or better machines. He gives a two page review of most other video poker machines and covers basic strategy for the 6-5 Progressive and 10's or better progressive machines.

(Since this book is titled 'Professional Video Poker', I feel these comments and rating are appropriate.)

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book if one *studies* it., October 13, 1999

By A Customer

I've found Wong's books to be among the best in their field and have more confidence with what he presents than most other authors (many of whom print information which is mathematically wrong). Like "profession blackjack," this book's weakness is not the author's fault but the system's "fault." Few progressive jackpots I've seen in Vegas reach the required $2,122 breakeven level much less a profitable one.
