HTTP Error 503

Hello Wizard. I just wanted to let you know that the Video Poker Strategy Guide at Wizard of Odds is showing a HTTP Error 503. Hopefully, there is a quick fix because I use it extensively. Also, thank you for making this amazing resource available for all of us VP players for all these years :)

The Video Poker Hand Analyzer (a.k.a. the Five-Card Hand Calculator) has not been working for me either. It does not show any errors; however, it also does not show any of the 32 plays, let alone the best one. And the Game Return Calculator is not working either.

Thanks, guys. The owners migrated the sites to a new server very recently, so that could be the origin of these problems, but it's not part of my job. I'll put in a word to the techs to look at these.

We are having some server issues, which are affecting some of the calculators and games. I assure you the right people know about it and are working on it.

I'm getting your connection to this site is not secure warning The servers certificate does not match the URL.

Just got word that the issues reported in the first 2 posts have been fixed. It was a server issue. Could those using the tools on WoO please check them and report back if the particular problems they saw are fixed, please? Thanks for the trouble reports and the follow-up!

Thumbs up on Video Poker Hand Analyzer (5-card Hand Calculator) and Game Return Calculator (GRC). I did 1 test each. For former, I tried Joker 2-Pair and changed the payouts to be consistent with the Atlantic City 5 of a Kind = 4000 game. For GRC, I tried Wheel Poker with Quick Quads and changed the 4 of a Kind (5-K) payout from 250 to 260.

For the Strategy Calculator, I got mixed results. With a standard 9-6 Jacks or Better, it worked fine. When I tried Quick Quads, Triple Double Bonus changing 4 of a Kind (5-K) from 50 to 52, I got the following error:

Also, just regular TDB, changing the RF payout from 800 to 1111 produced this:

Hey, drrock, thanks so much for the follow-up. I'm told the error for both of these is in the third-party server outside WoO, but our guys are looking at following it up so the tool works properly.

Thank you for taking care of it.
