Frugal Video Poker (FVP) is a wonderful playing/tutoring/analysis software for video poker players. It not only serves as a tutor while you play, but also generates strategy charts — two functions that are basic needs for any VP player.
FVP also includes many valuable add-ons not available in other programs, such as the ability to analyze slot club returns and incorporate them into the overall payback calculations. It also has the capability to figure the value of quad bonuses for special promotions. With 54 pre-loaded games, including most popular versions of Jacks-or-Better, Bonus Poker (Double, Double Double, Triple, etc.), Deuces and Joker Wild, as well as the ability to customize the pay tables to represent virtually any game you’ll find in a casino, FVP offers video poker students an extensive range of game options. The CD also comes with an 11-minute video in which Jean Scott explains the fundamentals of video poker play.
If you are really interested in learning video poker, you should also check out Jean Scott's book Frugal Video Poker. The two were created to go together, although this software is easy enough to use without the book. For the serious player, though, the book provides instructions on how to use the software more expertly, and the software will give you the means to practice the steps outlined in the book, chapter by chapter, to become a skilled player. You can buy both together at a discount by clickining on "Great Combo Deals."
System Requirements: Windows 95 or higher, Pentium 100Mhz or faster, 8 MB RAM, SVGA 640 x 480 @ 256 colors, CD-ROM, Mouse, Windows-compatible sound card. Compatible with Vista.
