charter members into the vpFREE VIDEO POKER HALL OF FAME, which
recognizes and honors those who have made significant
contributions to the playing, understanding and popularity of
video poker. These charter members and the 2003, 2004 and 2005
inductees are honored on the Hall of Fame web site:

The 2006 Hall of Fame election will be conducted between 1 August
and 14 August. The nominee who receives the most votes from the
6200+ vpFREE members will be the 2006 Hall of Fame inductee. Each
vpFREE member may cast one vote for one nominee, and can change
their vote at any time during the voting period. If there is a
tie vote, the vpFREE Administrative Committee will break the tie
and determine the 2006 inductee.
This process will be repeated in 2007. In 2008 and subsequent
years, an inductee must win the popular vote, and then receive
approval of 75% of the voting members in a second election. If
the popular vote winner doesn't receive 75% approval, there won't
be an inductee that year.
Between now and 1 AUG, additional nominees can be suggested by
vpFREE members (along with their qualifications), and the merits
of anyone's favorite can be expounded and discussed. Any
suggested nominee(s) who receive majority approval from the
Administrative Committee will be added to the list of nominees.
