This, from my most recent article on the only video poker site (and probably the only gaming site)void of shameless on-line gaming ads and paraphernalia marketing: vptruth.com Why? Because while others need to get YOUR money into THEIR pockets so that THEY may continue to gamble, I've always taken my profits directly from the machines.
"On the machine testing I did, the results were not much different overall than what I've seen in my first 30,000 hands. I now stand at 40,000 hands played, 4688 opportunities, with 2211 flip-overs. I'm running at 42.7% and guess what? The math says I should be seeing 6.38% - almost 7 times LESS than what I'm experiencing. What's even more telling: At home here I've been using an auto-shuffler to play a tedious 1000 hands the past few weeks, and my flip-overs are running just about where they should be at just over 8%!
This is telling me a whole lot about the make-up of the machines, but I'm not going to give a final opinion until I've completed my 45,000 hand effort. I find it interesting that on not ONE session comprised of any amount of hands and opportunities, do I ever run anywhere even CLOSE to what the math says I should see. Yes the advantage players are having stomach churning over this and yes, they'd have to come up with a whole new set of lies about winning if they ever accepted the truth about the machines. But the fact is, I'm the first and only player who's ever taken the machines to task over their purported "randomness" and as such, what I'm saying is making a ton more sense these days.
