Reason #2 why the Wizard likes Bovada:

No-hassle practice games

Most online casinos spend more effort trying to separate you from your money than they do trying to give you a good experience. They have all kinds of popup windows, they usually make you download their software, and if they do offer play-in-browser games then you have to register an account before you can play. And if you register they start sending you emails trying to get you to deposit real money.

But Bovada is different. They have no popup windows at all, and their practice games play right in your browser, with no download, and no registration required. You don’t even have to give up your email address. It couldn’t be simpler: just one click and you’re playing the game.

I wish all online casinos showed this much respect for their players. Other casinos practically ask for your first born child to play for free. Meanwhile Bovada is patient and does not twist anybody’s arm to play for real money. You can play as long as you like for free with no obligation. The real-money games are available if that’s your preference, but if not, you can play the free practice games for as long as you like without hassle.

Video Poker Strategy Calculator

Welcome to the video poker calculator and strategy generator. Javascript must be enabled in order for it to work. Here is how you use it:

  • The first step is to select the game category. For example, classic 5-card draw poker, Five Aces Poker, or Quick Quads.

  • After choosing the category, you must select the game itself. This means Jacks or Better, Bonus Poker, Deuces Wild, etc.

  • After you have selected the category and the game, you must enter or modify the paytable. Each game starts with a default paytable, which you can modify by double-clicking a prize and replacing it with the desired prize.

  • After you have chosen the category and game, and entered the paytable, click Continue to analyze the game. Note that it may take several minutes to fully analyze a game.

  • After the analysis is complete, the results will show the following items: (1) the analysis of the game when perfect strategy is used; (2) the analysis of the game when the basic strategy is used; (3) the basic strategy; and (4) the exceptions to the basic strategy. Once the analysis is done and displayed, you may start over and choose a different game, or go back and adjust the paytable.
