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." --------
