Video Poker Tutor 1.6

Overview

Video Poker Tutor (VPT) is both a fun-to-play video poker game and a training tool that can help you learn the best cards to hold in the various situations that arise. You can play Jacks or Better, Deuces Wild or Double Bonus video poker.

Basic Play

Touch Deal to start a new hand. Then touch the cards you want to keep. As you do, the word HOLD will appear under your choices. When you're satisfied with your selections, touch Draw to draw new cards. You begin the game with 1000 credits and win when your hand matches one of the categories in the payoff table. You can use the Bet One and Bet Max buttons to control the amount of your bet. The maximum bet is 5 credits.

Hints

By default, VPT will display a blue dot above the cards it suggests you hold as soon as the hand is dealt. Using the Settings menu, you can change this so that the blue dots are displayed only when you touch Draw and the app disagrees with your play. You can also turn off the hint feature completely. VPT's suggestions are (nearly) optimal in the sense that they will produce the best results over a long series of plays. It is certainly possible that another play could do better on any individual deal because of the luck of the draw.

Landscape Mode

If your device supports landscape mode, VPT will display larger cards and buttons and eliminate the payoff table when in that mode.

Adjusting the Sound Volume

You can use your volume control to adjust the sound level. VPT respects the Media Volume setting on your device.
