Video Poker Players

Video poker players are typically players who want an interactive experience for their gambling dollars. Rather than passively waiting to see what they get; they want to have some influence in the outcome of their game. Further, many have discovered that by playing better strategy, they can make their gambling dollars go farther.

Video poker players are aware of pay tables in many cases and the impact this can have on their play. In the end, like all gamblers, they are looking for time on device and value for their entertainment budget which is why putting tight pay tables on your video poker games often results in very little play. In some cases, casinos may mistakenly feel that “video poker doesn’t work in our casino”. Tightening, or loosening, that game a credit or two can be the difference of having successful, high earning video poker games or not.

Video poker players are frequent patrons of their casinos of choice, more so in some cases than slot players. They are also remarkably superstitious creatures, and many have heartfelt theories about “hot and cold” machines, how Random Number Generators (RNGs) work and just exactly how the cards are dealt in the game of video poker.

Setting up video poker games and serving video poker players is a bit different than your typical slot players. They are a bit more “informed,” believe in some cases they have an “edge” based on their strategic knowledge and can be a very profitable player segment if you give them a good value for their money.
