To win at video poker you must know the pay schedules for full pay machines, find out where they are located, learn the correct playing strategies for them, and take advantage of the casino’s cashback and comps.

The fact-of-the-matter is that there are beatable games in a casino and you ought to know which ones they are. Their gloom-and-doom attitude might be fitting for most casino games, but not all of them. Their mantra goes something like this: The casino has the advantage and we are going to lose, but let’s just have fun playing. It amazes me that most casino players believe their fate in the casino rests solely on luck.
