Still a nice win.

Hi! I built a video poker tool that uses your phone's camera to instantly tell you a machine's RTP and the best cards to hold. No manual inputs, no game, card, or paytable selection, just take a photo: videopokeranalyzer.com

• Analysis in 2-3 seconds (RTP and top three hold decisions ranked by EV)
• 20+ supported games (including Ultimate X and Super Times Pay)
• 500+ supported paytables (I've flown across the country collecting them)
• Supports single and multi-hand play (1, 3, 5, 10)
• There's an iOS app (launched last week!)

No AI crap. The tool uses machine learning to read the photo you take, and then pure math for the RTP and hand analysis. EVs change in real-time based on the paytable and recognizes when you switch denominations.

You'd be surprised how your hold decision changes for complex games like Ultimate X (which took a full month to support!), like how holding four to a flush is better than holding three to a royal (pictured in the first image). Normally this is the wrong play, but because you have active multipliers and future flushes give you huge multipliers, the flush takes priority.

Today's update features an iOS app and more supported games. The app does have a $9.99 monthly sub once you run out of free hands to cover server costs, but you get that back 10-fold with the money you save making the right hold decisions. Give it a go and let me know what you think! videopokeranalyzer.com

Went with $140 left with $450.

Great Night playing at resorts world celebrating my birthday!!

And of course quad 3s needed a kicker. Still a good day overall.

Don't mind the horrible camera quality. Filmed on MiniDV tapes.

….holding only one ace

Not too shabby for nickels!

Down to my last 500 and hit a 3x Royal on Ultimate X Bonus Poker 3hands $1denon. Gave a lot of it back and a couple of hours later hit a 4x and my first more than 4x straight flush.

On the ultimate x app you can play single hand with multipliers. Does an actual video poker machine like this exist? I will be honest I never play multi hand stuff and just assumed all ultimate x was multi hand but if I can get the multipliers on single hand that'd be incredible.

But will likely try again

Random royal hit after only holding the Jack.

Hi, all. I just launched smartholdvp.com and hope you'll try it. I tried videopoker.com, wizard of odds, various trainers on android and several others...and while each had its nice parts, each also had major drawbacks. So I built one that can be used for free forever with all functionality, actually explains why you missed the best hold, helps you avoid missing in the future, and is generally pleasant to look at and use.

Hopefully it includes all the features that you'd want from a trainer: easy to understand feedback, spaced-repetition reviews, keyboard shortcuts, a hand analyzer, a clean practice mode without distractions and availability on various platforms with free data sync (web & android currently — iOS coming soon) while being totally offline-ready with no need for any account if you don't want.

Please let me know what you think and if you have any suggestions. I built this so I'd have a video poker game that I enjoy playing and want to make sure others do as well.

I've built out 9 games so far with many preconfigured pay tables for each. I plan to keep Jacks or Better and Bonus Poker completely free to use forever on all platforms, but the others will eventually be placed behind a paywall.

The Android app is here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smarthold.app
iOS should be available soon.

Hey fellow players! My wife and I love “Times Play Super Stacks” but don’t often find it in casinos we visit. Have you all seen it and if so where?

Thanks in advance!

Quick hit on the dealt royal which is about 1 in 650,000 to get. Then I moved machine and it gave me 222A4 so I held 222A and pulled the last 2 for $2K. Then the third jackpot took a bit more work but held pair of 3s and then got 334 for another $2K. Quite the profitable 2 hours of playing.

Edit: I forgot I also had $30 free play to add to the title. They tier matched my Caesars Diamond Plus to get me to Icon level. X level is via invite only.

TDB on a weird feature game.

Has better EV to drop an ace, but hit nada.
