Video poker strategy sheets - OK to use in a casino?

roundcat · #1 08-22-2006, 06:08 PM

Do most casinos consider it OK to refer to a video poker optimum strategy sheet while playing video poker? I've done it and no one has said anything, but I feel vaguely uneasy, like I'm cheating or something. Since blackjack strategy cards are acceptable to use at the blackjack table I'd assume video poker strategy cards would be the same, particularly since there's not a lot of +EV (if any) even with perfect play.

But still... I'd like to hear what others think. Is it something casinos frown upon, or couldn't care less about?

You can even use one at table games like blackjack, although they might get irked if you slow-down the game.

They don't care..which should tell you something about the effectiveness of these strategies.

The Casinos will toss you out for card counting (something you do in your head), but don't care about the strategy sheets.

So, you tell me, can the sheets make you any $$$...?

If you combine perfect video poker play with cashback and other promotions, video poker can be +EV. Hideously boring, but +EV.

Variance is very high, too. If you find a really good quarter machine, you can might make minimum wage, $10.00/hr. if you play really fast and error free. +EV dollar machines are pretty much non-existant.
