Play, practice or get perfect hold advice on over 400 types of Video Poker games and over 2000 associated pay tables one might encounter in real casinos.
Once a game type and pay table are selected, there are three different modes of usage:
Perfect Hold Advice - select five cards from a deck and this app shows a perfect hold hand, that is, the cards to hold that maximizes the average or expected long-run payouts. (Some hands have more than one optimal play and you set the criteria to break the ties. These hands are indicated.)
Scored Practice - here a random hand is dealt, the user selects hold cards and then this is rated against a perfect hold hand.
Game Mode - a player just plays the game for fun where random cards are dealt, the player selects hold cards, a draw is made and any payouts recorded. The same draws are used to fill-in a perfect hold hand for comparisons. You are shown what is a perfect hold on each hand after play.
Each hand, regardless of mode, is saved for later review.
Trip Recorder - this feature is used to record data associated with video poker gambling trips or activity.
A Money Management feature gives classic gambler's ruin probabilities.
You can build your own Pay Table for almost every game and get the usual statistics. Once created, these Pay Tables can be used just like built-in tables.
Each Perfect Play is explained in detail if desired. A tour feature and extensive help screens are provided as are information buttons throughout the screens.
See our website for the list of the 400 plus games supported.
NOTE: Our Apps teach you how to play Perfect Video poker through simulated play with feedback on errors. No prizes or money are involved. In short, no opportunity exists to win real money or prizes based on the outcome of a simulated game in our Apps.
This app is the most advanced VP sim I have seen. At first navigation seem a bit complex and the settings offer many options but within minutes you realize the depth of the apps customizable features and variety of current games available far exceed other options on the App Store. I am also glad to see the inclusion of a trip tracker and plan on trying it on my next trip. Highly recommend for the serious VP enthusiast.
Exactly as advertised

Works exactly how I want it to. The interface is a little old, but you can put in any kind of game, any kind of payable, and it tells you the optimal solution. It even lets you know how bad your mistakes are and the EV of different decision you could make. Easiest way to learn how to play perfect video poker.
V1.132 causing crashes

Was working great until v1.132 released. Now when I launch, it crashes immediately.
Developer Response
Sorry to hear this. Try delete\ing and redownloading.
Added a new setting in Practice Mode to not show when a dealt hand is a pat hand. This removes a potential hint during training.
