13 April 2007

Online-Casinos.com offers a quick and easy way to learn or polish up those VP strategies

The latest player assist from the popular online gambling information portal Online-Casinos.com is an easy to use video poker training tool.

This facility provides a free game for casino players to use on as many video poker hands as may be desired in order to become confident enough to play for real money. If a player makes a strategic mistake, the software will correct it and "coach" the player on a more savvy strategy. The game is presented on the Flash software platform and is completely free, with no registration or download required.

A spokesman for Online-Casinos said: "Video poker can be an intimidating game for a player not familiar with the best playing strategies. In order to make casino players more comfortable with this entertaining game, Online-Casinos.com is offering this free video poker training tool. The game allows players to play as many video poker hands as they wish until they become confident enough to take the next step and play for real money. Even professional video poker players can take advantage of this effective tool in order to brush off the cobwebs that may have accumulated after an absence from the action, or just to play for fun."

Using the video poker "coach" is straightforward and easy. The game is available in Jacks or Better, which is one of the most common video poker games found online or at land based casinos. All balances and wins are displayed as normal, but further bonuses are awarded to players who play within the 9/6 strategy guidelines.

If a player makes a strategic mistake, the software will correct him or her. Correct strategic moves are based on which cards the player decides to hold or drop, and not on the hand that is dealt. In this way, players learn to deal with a wide variety of hypothetical playing scenarios so they can be prepared when playing for real money.

All correct moves are followed by a green tick which lights up and incorrect moves are followed by an illuminated red cross. Players can keep track of the amount of their correct moves and can reset the video poker game at any stage. The 9/6 Jacks or Better video poker strategy game is effective for anyone wishing to improve video poker skills, and the strategic video poker tips provided by the online casino portal can improve most players' games.

"A good player knows as much as possible about a game in order to achieve the best results," says the portal's spokesman. "Rules and nuances should become muscle memory so that full concentration can be focused on winning. Our aim is to provide the tools for players to make that possible."

The new player assist is the latest in a series of online playing tutorials and practice facilities provided free by Online-Casino.com and embracing the most popular games. The video poker trainer is available at: http://www.online-casinos.com/video-poker/videopoker-trainer.asp
