Video Poker Edge: Trainer
Pay table solver, ideal holds
$4.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Now solves the machine you're standing at. Enter its pay table, get the exact return under perfect play across 18 real schedules — two of which beat 100%. No ads, no IAP.
KNOW WHAT THE MACHINE IN FRONT OF YOU ACTUALLY PAYS.
Most video poker apps teach one game and hope the machine you sit down at matches. Video Poker Edge solves the machine instead.
NEW — THE PAY TABLE SOLVER
Pick from 18 real pay schedules, or type in the numbers printed on the glass in front of you. The app identifies the game and computes its exact return under perfect play. Drop a full house from 9 to 8 and it tells you you have moved from 9/6 Jacks or Better to 8/6, and exactly what that costs.
Two of the eighteen return over 100% with optimal play. The app tells you which.
Jacks or Better 9/6 through 6/5 · Bonus Poker · Bonus Poker Deluxe · Double Bonus · Double Double Bonus · Triple Double Bonus · Super Aces · Aces and Faces · Aces and Eights · Tens or Better · All American
THE TRAINER
Practice 9/6 Jacks or Better — the full-pay machine every serious player starts on. Every hold you make is graded against the real optimum, computed from a complete solve of all 2,598,960 five-card deals, in under a millisecond, with no network call.
• Training Mode — hints and immediate feedback
• Test Mode — prove it without the training wheels
• Drill Mode — practice the patterns you miss most
• Strategy Reference — all 36 optimal plays, ranked by expected value
• Progress Tracking — see your weak spots close
NOT A SIMPLIFIED RULE LIST
The 36-rule human strategy is in the app, checked against Wizard of Odds. But it is the teaching layer, not the engine. Underneath, every position is solved exhaustively — 134,459 strategically distinct hands, each of the 32 possible holds evaluated against every remaining draw, precomputed and shipped inside the app.
BEYOND THE CARDS
The meta-game that turns good play into profitable play: pay table evaluation, player's club math, promotional multipliers, bankroll management.
NO ADS. NO COINS. NO SUBSCRIPTION.
One purchase, everything included. No account, no telemetry, no network calls — the whole solver runs on your phone. Nothing to sell you after the download.
Built by one developer who wanted a tool that does not approximate.
Note: the trainer deals and grades 9/6 Jacks or Better. The pay table solver covers all eighteen schedules and answers a different question — whether the machine you are looking at is worth playing at all.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Fixes to how a session plays out.
· Your last credit is now a real hand. Staking it used to announce "Busted!" before the cards were drawn, so a final-credit hand could never win. Now it plays out, and a win keeps your session going.
· A fast double-tap on Deal no longer charges you for two hands.
· New Session is unavailable for the moment a hand is being dealt or drawn, so a session can no longer be cut off in the middle of one.
Nothing else changed. Still no ads, no coins, no accounts and no network calls.
