BANKROLL

How Much Should I Bring For Video Poker?

epending on the denomination of the video poker game you intend on playing, you must always have a predetermined amount of money planned for your play session. This is referred to as your bankroll.D When people ask me how much money they should bring to the casino, I tell them my general rule of thumb: If I intend on playing a nickel machine (max bet $0.25), then I plan on bringing $20 for every hour of desired play time. Then, I just multiply this amount by the denomination of the machine. So, if I intend on playing a quarter machine (max bet $1.25), then I plan on bringing $100 for every hour of play time, $200/hour for a fifty cent machine (max bet $2.50), $400/hour for a dollar machine (max bet $5.00), and so on. This is advice I give casual and recreational players. For those who want to play the games at the level of a dedicated professional video poker player, you need to come to the casino with a large enough bankroll to survive long enough to win. For a serious attempt at walking away with a significant win playing video poker, you must be financially prepared to lose half the value of a Royal Flush during a session. For example, this means coming to the casino with $100 if playing nickels (Royal Flush is $200), $500 if playing quarters (Royal Flush is $1,000) and $2,000 if playing a dollar machine (Royal Flush is $4,000). Furthermore, many serious video poker enthusiasts are able to play around 600 hands per hour! So, if you are one of those types of players, multiply 600 by your bet in order to come up with a bankroll amount. That number guarantees you’ll be at the casino for one hour, even if you lose all 600 hands! Also, keep in mind the casino floor is changing when it comes to video poker. The single hand games are becoming harder and harder to find. In their place are multi-hand games (up to 100 hands) and specialty games where you can be expected to wager 5 credits for a single hand and from 1 to 5 additional credits to qualify for multipliers, a bonused pay table, or other game features. If those are your games, make sure you take the additional money needed to complete the wager into account Remember, your bankroll is the predetermined amount of money you can afford to lose. Never, under any circumstances, should you exceed this amount. Good luck and have fun. $
