Video Poker 247
- Guaranteed Play Video Poker
What if you could play video poker and know that you could play for a
certain number of hands? You could put in your money, decide how many
hands of video poker you would like to play, and then sit back and
enjoy the game knowing that you will be there for just as long as you
like. That is the reasoning behind “Guaranteed Play” video poker, yet
the fish don’t seem to be biting.
The video poker companies and the slot machine companies thought that
they had come up with the perfect way for their clients to enjoy
playing their games, for the exact amount of time that they want to
play them, but people don’t seem to be interested. No one really wants
to play the new games.
When they were first offered, the video poker and slots industry
thought that they had stumbled upon a gold mine. It was considered a
“revolution” in the casino industry, and that even those that don’t
normally play the slots or video poker would be tempted to play. Not
so.
Players thought that it was “weird” and they didn’t understand why it
was being offered. Casinos said that this was a perfect way for them
to possibly get more for their money. That depending on how you play,
you might end up with less hands or spins for the same amount of money
if you aren’t using the new system.
They say that the video poker games have the same odds as regular
games, but that you could get more hands for the money. They say that
this is perfect for those that play the penny slots because they are
looking for a way to extend their time, and this is it. But players
say that they don’t like it because they have to continue playing even
if they don’t want to. They might be winning and want to walk away
from the video poker or slot machine, and the game won’t let them.
They say that the new system is just one more way that the casinos
seem to be taking their money.
