If you did not understand the above, go to video poker websites and don't play until you know how to select the better paying machines and have learned the strategy for that machine.

So a royal is every 40,000 hands. So I am guessing that this is going to require more than 8 - 10 hours that I was willing to commit.

Also lack of 9/6 pretty much makes it not worth it, right?

Is Ameristar 8/5 then?
