Video Poker Forum

There is an interesting and informative article on the recent "Big Beautiful Bill" on page 25 of the August edition of the Arizona Gaming Guide which discusses how the legislation affects VP players. I know this was discussed in a previous Forum topic, but I believe this article deserves a separate topic. Here is a link to the Guide. Just go to page 26. https://issuu.com/arizonagamingguide/do ...

OTA, thanks for sharing this with us. Not only do I read the article, or information, that you mention but I read the entire issue cover to cover.

Thanks Bill. Haven’t heard anything further in the news up this way. One can hope.

I particularly liked page 6. “To all our readers: Stop watching slot videos and giving content creators an ego boost and money they don’t deserve.”
Do they know their readers or what?

You could say the same thing about professional sports, movie stars, etc.

NG's back, back again...
Come on Frannie Cakes, "we got this"
"Gee dad, wow! You were only 4 cards away from getting a 4 of a kind."

The only one I can think of with Gee Dad is Wally or Beaver.

Gee, Dad is a reference to that father and son in Florida...

"Stop watching slot videos and giving content creators an ego boost and money they don’t deserve.”

Absolutely! It is amazing that thousands of viewers will watch a video that represents a once-every-6-months positive casino session! Or watch a VLOG video patched together that shows jackpots from over a long timeframe. How about an honest video that shows not only the losses but also the trips to the ATM machine or to the loan company?

The people watching these videos and adding to the creator's YouTube count always seem to forget that the YouTube wonder kids face the exact same negative win percentages as the rest of us. There is no VP magic just because someone is handy with a cell phone camera. Anyone on this board could post a dramatic video of his/her occasional winning sessions.

"Casinos are very profitable. There is a reason for that."
