more video poker questions

[Coecat]

I downloaded WinPoker as suggested and discovered the multi-play games. Are these available in Las Vegas? Where can I find them and in what denomination? Are the pay tables decent? Do you think they're worth playing vs. traditional VP?

You'll find triple play, five play, ten play and even fifty play video poker all over the place in vegas. You'll find them in all denominations. Mostly you'll find them in nickels, quarters and dollars, but they do exist higher, but they're usually in the high roller areas ($5 triple play is $75 per pull!!)

I know that I saw one that was pennies at an off strip casino (Sam's Town? Sunset Station? Boulder Station?) Unfortunately, I can't remember which one.

I love nickel triple play VP. It's one of my favorite games. You can sometimes find full pay, but you've really got to look closely at the pay tables.

Are these machines with multiple choices of games, like the ones that offer video slots and the disembodied hands dealing out the poker cards? Or is the multi-play draw poker the only game on that machine? Basically I guess I just want to know what to look for. Any particular "brand name" of machine?

Most of what you'll find is the triple play video poker. It will only have VP, but there will be choices as they have several different game types (Jacks or better, bonus poker, deuces wild, etc) on one machine.

IGT has some information on their site about the games. You can see a video if you cut and paste this into Real Player. http://www.igt.com/games/sights_sounds/video_poker_2_160x120.ram

Hope this helps.
