Does Microgaming know what they are doing???

I just played the new Viper Software. WOW! The Casinomeister was right.

The Jacks or Better analyzer was right on the money. At 99.54% return, it is going to be difficult for casinos to make any money.

I am a fast human player, when I want to be, but this is COMPUTER fast! I am up $120 in less than 5 minutes of playing time playing mostly quarters.

Microgaming has just upped the ante on all other casinos, online and on land to very dangerous levels.

What do you think will happen to video poker now that this game of skill has just become a glorified slot machine?

BIGHAWK OR BRIAN::

WHERE DID YOU FIND THIS VIPER GAME? OR WHAT CASINO HAS IT? I LOVE TO PLAY JACKS OR BETTER AND ACES AND 10'S OR BETTER. I WOULD APPRECIATE IF YOU COULD SUPPLY ME WITH THIS INFORMATION.

Guess I got too excited! It is only at www.luckynugget.com right now.

It actually shows you the optimal way to play the hand.

Further it keeps stats and lets you turn on the autoplay. It plays all the hands for you in perfect strategy. Then, you can see number of winning hands, etc., like in Winpoker.

They did the same with the blackjack! You can tweak the play strategy table if you want.

But, like the video poker, now player skill isn't a question. You can set it to roboplay and just watch it run. The end of an era.

I'd guess that you won't see any more promotions that accept video poker or blackjack play to qualify.

Don't worry; at even 1/2 1%, the casino can still make money. When was the last time you played video poker at 1600 hands an hour? They offset the small edge with speed of play.

They looked at what people wanted and were buying and put it into the software. Now you can improve your play on land using Microgaming as a trainer.

It's kind of sad. Another human function replaced by machine. No more memorizing strategy tables. Which is actually good for brain function.

I LIKE

What Mary said is what I was thinking - using Viper as a trainer as well.

In fact, I got so excited that I had to do an ACH just to get funds into the casino (my Neteller being tapped and not completely verified yet) so I get to wait to play for real.

Man, I've been playing hooky a bit too much today...

The Power Poker is a bit clunky though, but hopefully they can tighten this up a bit.

I really dig the stats!

Gotta send the truant officer around your neck of the woods...

I can't wait for the money to get in LOL. This looks like a lot of fun (for a change).

They could make the message when you win money on the slots a bit bigger. A lot bigger.

But, beautiful overall, and it really stands out from the pack. Again, a great selection of soothing sounds for the slots, that won't make a person crazy.

I'm still sad about the strategy though...*sniff*

[spearmaster]

LOL...

be happy that the players will be getting a fair crack at the games, assuming everything is A-OK.

Undoubtedly, this is going to have an effect on all the other providers...
