Having lived in Las Vegas for a number of years and played thousands of hands of video poker I can assure you that you can win. The machine is not fixed, the gaming control people would come down hard on any casino that did cheat.

The different ways to play each hand are too numerous to explain in a small article. The best and most inexpensive way to learn is to purchase a Vegas stile video game for your computer. Be sure the game is one that is formatted to duplicate the card games that are found in the casinos.

The video poker games come with instructions on how to play each hand. Most of them will tell you when you play a hand wrong and show you how to play it right. As the old saying goes, ( practice makes perfect) will have to be followed. The more you play the game on your computer the better you will get.
