Video Poker Software for the 22nd Century

I don't know about you but I plan on making it to the 22nd century. I want to see some advancements in the software by then. So all you brainiacs get to work. Video poker-and even video keno- is going to look entirely different by then. I can see the handwriting on the wall.

I doubt I'll make it to the 22nd century, but the new OpVP 3 is a big advance over all previous VP programs by actually training correct play according to the strategy chart of your choice. When you make an error, it highlights the best hold and your hold in the chart, tells you the immediate cost of the error, and the long-term per-hour cost if you make the same error every time the situation occurs.

Do you play progressives? Did you know the "break even" strategy yields the lowest cost of a royal? OpVP calculates that, too. It also allows you to work with a "basic" strategy (no penalty considerations) or apply the penalties of your choice to the chart.

Available for Windows (2000 through Win 7), Mac OS X (10.2 through Lion) and Linux (most Linux systems). Free demo downloads and discount prices are available on my website.

Dan, with this thread I thought I would just give some food for thought to you software developers....at least from someone who continually analyzes new variants of video poker, you know, looking for edges. A lot of the new games can't be fully analyzed....but even so the software is still a huge help. I'll list a game here and there as time permits.

JACKPOT ACES

This is a one joker game with progressive meters on the Five aces, Natural 4 Aces, and Natural Aces Full.
