Greetings from Torrance! Interesting topic. The short answer is "NO". But the long answer is worthy of discussion. Is the player playing the right game? Is the player disciplined? What can the player afford to play at? I know people who have made quite a bit of money from Video Poker, but I know many others(like me) who have done nothing but lose many trips in a row. Most businesses either don't make money in the first 5 years or they completely go out of business.Those that succeed usually have a plan or course of action. If you have a plan and can stay focused, the long answer is....... maybe. This is a topic that can be talked about for hours. Glad you brought it up. Thanks again sir!

Thank you, great video. I read Bob Dancer's book on how he and his wife made a million dollars over the course of a year playing video poker. That sounds enticing until you realize how hard they worked for that money. Most of the time they teamed up and worked in shifts with only 3 hours sleep per shift and you also have to chase the poker tournaments wherever they are so they moved to Vegas. Even he admitted with the casino's cracking down on everything now it's very hard to walk away a winner these days and come out ahead. I love double double bonus video poker but I keep it a hobby for sure. 😊 Thanks for the video.

To correct a misstatement, you can earn points at full pay 10/7 Double Bonus at Four Queens and Emerald Island.

Why are 4oak not hitting any more?

[@danielharbour4882]

Why is video poker hitting 1/4 as much as it was 2 years ago?

I'm pretty sure Arizona Charlie's in Las Vegas offers full pay deuces wild and I believe the highest denomination is 50 cents which means you could bet $2.50 a hand.

According to vpFree2, both Arizona Charlie’s locations have downgraded their 100%+ video poker pay tables about 11 months to 1 year ago.

@@ClubMikeV Wow. I apologize. Thanks for correcting me. That's a bummer. Good to see that the Plaza is still offering full pay joker poker at 100.64%. Unfortunately it's a .25¢ denomination. It's sad to see Vegas turn into what it is. Everything usually happens incrementally. If you make abrupt changes people will realize the change in their environment. It's like a frog in a pot of water. If you turn the flame up slowly the frog will stay in the water and die. Because it didn't realize a change in its environment so it did nothing. But if you turn the flame up to high immediately the frog will jump out of the water because it realized a change in its environment. People are the same way. If you understand phycology as well as other knowledge you can really control people.

Well considering that all manufacturing jobs are outsourced, transforming the economy into service based one, rather than a manufacturing one, and most tech entry level jobs require 3 to 5 years experience, and are pretty much given to green card holders, or H-1B visa beneficiaries for cheap labor, and the ones that ARE lucky and willing to ass-kiss enough to land one, they barely pay above minimum wage. So I'll CERTAINLY stick with Video Poker...
