At the casinos I frequent (Wynn, Bellagio, Aria, etc.) it seems that $1 JoB video poker machines are becoming less prevalent with many more "Double Double..." and "Deuces Wild..." machines. It feels that JoB is becoming outdated. I think my brain can only memorize one video poker strategy. Can anyone suggest which video poker game I should try to master that would be present in more casinos and likely to be around for several more years? Or should I just stick with JoB, which I have already memorized?

Thanks for your help!

8/5 bonus



I agree. Not that my vote is worth as much weight as Axel's.
"Then you can admire the real gambler, who has neither eaten, slept, thought nor lived, he has so smarted under the scourge of his martingale, so suffered on the rack of his desire for a coup at trente-et-quarante" - Honore de Balzac, 1829

8/5 bonus is same strategy as JoB, minus a few differences (like penalty card differences).

Yes that's my point, just play 8/5 bonus instead. Even that's becoming hard to find. There was a time you wouldn't even consider 8/5 bonus. VP has declined 80% in 8 years.

Perhaps he should learn DW Variations.

Thanks for the advice. 8/5 bonus is so similar to JoB even my brain can handle it. What are "DW variations"?

DW full pay, where the straight flush pays 9, 4-of-a-kind pays 5. Then there is NSUD, Deuces Deluxe.

But there's still lots of 8/5 Bonus if you know where to look.

I was playing the 100.17 old Double bonus machines at the D yesterday.
Old guy with an oxygen tank sits by me.
He puts in a 10 dollar bill. He immediately cashes out and 40 quarters come out.
He starts playing with quarters.
I talk to him, he likes playing with quarters and the sounds of the quarters make when he wins.
Kind of neat in a way, While I am playing, I am hearing the sounds of a past Vegas.
Its just a forum. Nothing here to get obsessed about.

There are many slot players today who don't even know that years ago you had to pull a handle with a 3/4 size 8-ball at the end (without the 8).

I doubt that there are many. Would be a good prop bet(for me and the yes)
