Its funny to me to see online casinos have feature called Auto-hold. Where they basicly hold cards for you and all you need to do is press GO GO GO. And its always the optimal strategy that is played .If that option doesnt tell people who want to win that its impossible i dont know what does.
What im wondering is WHY would casinos put this auto-hold feature in their video poker?

I've only come across one machine in a casino with an auto hold on it and it did NOT use optimal strategy.
DUHHIIIIIIIII HEARD THAT!

The auto-hold I've encountered simply holds a dealt paying hand.
Holding a dealt paying hand is often, but not always, the optimal play.
What did it auto-hold in the case of a dealt non-paying hand?

In my case, the machine was a slant type spin poker game. It auto held on every deal. Basically is held the right cards about 99.8% of the time. Most of its "mistakes" were on BS exceptions. The machine is no longer there.

No, no it isn't. Not even close. And, especially online, that might have a lot to do with why it's offered.

I'm 99.54% sure the auto-hold with Microgaming is 100% perfect. I've let it crank away betting my money on auto-hold and auto-play lots of times.

The Auto-Hold feature on Mission2Game was beyond awful and incorrect. Play 100 hands and I'd be willing to bet you'd see at least 10 incorrect hands.
I've never really seen many other auto-hold features other than that though, so maybe my opinion of them is skewed.

Playing it correctly means you've already won.

Yeah, I was checking that out on the "Scientific" VP game they have last night. (9/6 JOB). Had my Wizard/JB strat card right next to it as it auto-held. Failing grade several times, though I don't have numbers for you. If there's a way to turn it off, I don't know what it is.

If the House lost every hand, they wouldn't deal the game.

The auto hold on Winaday is supposed to be perfect - based on royal paying 4000 per unit, but their royal only pays 500 and the autohold still goes for royals.

I just did 50 more hands with wizards simple strategy list at my side . Auto-hold was 100% accurate which didnt surprise me cause it was never wrong before.
Do some casinos do this to attrack succers cause they maybe dont get enough video poker players or what? I wonder

that sounds like a challenge to me. I haven't any prior knowledge of this outo hold but I can't imagine it's 100% accurate on all their VP games. I would be both impressed and scared if it was.Quote: WizardI'm 99.54% sure the auto-hold with Microgaming is 100% perfect.

If we have 15-20% cashback on our net losses per month in a casino does that make us automatically profitable in video poker if we play perfectly or let this auto-hold play? If so by how much are we winning ? Or it isnt so?

short answer is Yes. But there's a strategy for doing this. Agian I think you should ask where the information is and how to figure it out if your serious about this. Getting the awnser and not understanding isn't much help in the long run.Quote: zuti6If we have 15-20% cashback on our net losses per month in a casino does that make us automatically profitable in video poker if we play perfectly or let this auto-hold play?

Hint If you play 1 hand of high limit VP each month and get a rebate on that hand you have a very nice percentage but low profit.
Unfortunately this is online and there's all kinds of shenanigans online so I wouldn't do anything that you can't confortably afford to lose.
