Video Poker + Perfect Play Trainer : Las Vegas ... Reviews

Don't hesitate to buy because of the ads and gems.

Paul J in So Cal

I almost didn't buy this because of the comments about the ads and gems. I have been playing continuously for about an hour. Stopped to shower and write this review... The only ad I have seen was when I first started the application. That's unfortunate IMHO, but hardly anything to complain about. I am pretty easily irritated by ANY ads in a product I purchased, but this is minimal even by my standards. My guess is that if I quit the application, and restart that I will see the ad again. Again, I can deal with that. I am just happy the ads don't appear while playing. If at any point they do, I will regret this positive review. The gems were another reason I almost didn't buy. I thought that you had to purchase the gems to play certain games within the application. MY game is DD Bonus. It plays without buying or earning gems. I havent tried the other games, but my guess is that they will be the same. The only feature I want to unlock is the changing of the random number generator from the middle position to the "casino" generator. After playing for about an hour, I have "earned" 53 gems. Need to get to 100 to unlock the random number generator options. I can deal with that. If you want to play with this feature right out of the gate, you do have the option of paying $0.99. Given the cost of a small bag of fries at the local fast food, I can deal with that too, but am having fun figuring out the application and don't mind "earning" the gems. If it get's hard to get to 100, I will again regret this review, but I doubt it. While we are spoiled with VERY inexpensive applications for our iPads and iPhones, and this application is "much" more expensive than those other applications, I will say that this one is worth the money. Given how fast I put 20 dollar bills in the DD Bonus machines in Vegas, I believe that I will recover the expense very quickly as I am learning a few hands to hold that I was missing before. Regarding the performance and gameplay... The application is lightning fast and responsive. When I play on a real video poker machine, I favor swiping the cards so play on the iPad is like sitting in Vegas. Now if I can sit at the kitchen table and have my wife bring me drinks and blare the stereo, I may not notice the difference... Except for the money in and out... Paul

Very Disappointed

The game is a platform for further sales. In fact, after having paid $4.99, the game that is actually available is a hyped up extra 'odds' so one gets extraordinarily good hands such as 4 of a kind, straight flushes etc. Completely out of whack. To get the 'casino' version ( i.e., fair odds) one has to buy additional 'gems''. Frequent in-game promos for other 'deals' to buy more gems. Highly unprofessional.

Outstanding video poker trainer

I love this trainer. It has provided me with many hours of entertainment. It is also great for filling a few minutes at a time while waiting for various things. I only wish it had deuces wild variation also.

The BEST out there

This is truly a great VP trainer for any serious player. The configurable options allow training for any casino pay tables. This has helped me build speed and confidence in my game. The selectable hand analyzer can be a life saver in the casino. At first the price for this app seemed a bit steep compared to others, but it has already paid for itself.

Best $5 I ever spent

I have to say this is about the closet thing to the real thing. I find myself playing this for hours and really are enjoying this app. I would not hesitate to get this app. I highly recommedent it.

Ripoff

Okay, the game plays nicely. But the gems are stupid and just a way of extracting more money for an app that you already paid for. Beware, those who blindly use this game as a trainer. The DDB is 9/5, which is not the game a serious player would play (or learn on). Also, there is something annoying about it not dealing a fair game, but I am sure many people are fine with that. Were it a true trainer you would have the flexibility to modify paytables as needed. Also, the lack of DW and of the ability to configure games from scratch makes it weak. When compared with Winpoker, the gold standard, it just feels more like someone is trying to make a killing on a fairly simple app. If you're going to pay for the app get rid of the cheap money making tricks. You're already making more off of it than Dancer probably made on Winpoker and it is an inferior product in several respects. Just move on to another game rather than trying to extract more dollars from your customers.

Confirmed Rip Off

I purchased this for my wife who wanted a decent video poker game. Once she played she informed me that she had to pay an additional 5 bucks for credits. Over the years I have played 100s of different video poker games none of which ever forced you to pay extra money for play credits. Please do not buy this app as I consider this unethical on the Seller and Itunes for allowing such a rip off. It only starts you out with a 5 dollar credit which is only a few hands. Also note the playing tips work against you it really sets you up to lose your credits so you can be forced by more credits. If this App was free I would not be so upset and would have paid the 5 dollars for the credits but a total of 10 dollars for something that you may in the future have to dish out more dollars to play is just plain wrong.

Just like playing in a Casino, but...

MarkandKeren

This app is just like playing in a casino, and the 'perfect play' feature is great. One question, though - if I'm dealt an inside straight from 2 sides, (ie - 10, 9, 8, 6, 5) no matter which 4 cards I keep, it says it's imperfect play (and ruins my streak for gems). But the %'s for each are the same (10, 9, 8, 6 vs 9, 8, 6, 5). If there is truly a % difference, then please clarify what it is. If there isn't a difference, please don't mess up my gems!

Thievery!

Paid $4.99 for this app -- always crashes! Save your hard-earned dough and buy something else.
