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.

Reason #1 why the Wizard likes Bovada:

Excellent customer support

The thing that separates Bovada from the rest is its customer support. Many other online gaming companies outsource their support. It can be difficult getting a response from them, and if you do it is often slow and handled by somebody with little understanding of gambling or even of English. But Bovada’s support is handled by Bovada, and their support staff is actually knowledgeable and helpful.

I’m so confident that you’ll have a good experience with Bovada that if you have a problem getting paid and you can’t resolve it with them on your own, I’ll talk to them myself. I personally have known the Bovada management for about three years and always found them to be professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. I have also personally visited one of their call centers so I could see first-hand how they handle customer issues. (More on my mediation service.)

If you have a problem with any other casino besides Bovada, I can’t help you. I get complaints from players of other online casinos every day who have difficulty getting paid. However that isn’t my job nor my problem. If you play at Bovada after clicking through my site I’ll stand behind you 100%. Any place else and you’re on your own.
