Las Vegas Slot Clubs and Video Poker

If you think Las Vegas gives away anything for Free, you better keep reading

Slot clubs have been popular and are becoming even more popular with players. One of the most played video games is video poker. What's not to like, the casino claims you have a good chance of winning, you get to hold cards and your only playing against the machine not other players.

Now the casino entices you with a slot card. The card has two sides, lets look at the good side first.

1. By tracking your play you can get comps and Free gifts depending on how much you play.
2. Makes it easier at tax time to get a list of losses for taxes.
3. Some casinos have free slot tournaments for club members.

Lets turn the card over and look at the bad side.

1. They use gifts and promotions to lure you into the casino.
2. They know human nature. They give you $5.00 off on food knowing you'll spend $20.00 gambling.
3. They'll give away little $10.00 prizes knowing you'll have to gamble $100.00 to win it.
4. They'll have a big drawing on the weekends, maybe top prize is $10,000.00 but there are 500,000.00 card holders. They know people will gamble much more than $10,000.00 while waiting for the drawing.

I watch it time and time again, club card members herding into the casino only to lose their own money in hopes of winning the top prize. Yes, someone will win it, but the odds are really stacked against you.

i can pose only one question to you, when have you known a casino to give away more than they take in? Living here and talking to people who run these clubs the answer is never. They know exactly what there doing and the club card chasers are doing exactly what the casinos want.

This is why the casino floors are packed with video poker games. If your going to play anyway why not use a card, I do, but I play the game to win I don't play the game for the card prizes.

Don't fall for the club card trap, look for better strategies to play video poker better. The average player doesn't have a chance which is evident by the big profits made by the casino off of video poker. I had to turn losing into winning by developing a simple strategy for video poker.

If your tired of being told you can win but your always losing, increase your chances to win with a real players strategy. Go to Winning At Video Poker. It's the strategy I use and one that you can win with too!
