Play Perfect Video Poker Pro is less of a game and more of a high-level training tool for serious casino enthusiasts. While you can certainly play it for fun, its true value lies in the 'Pro' features that coach you on the optimal strategy for every hand. If you’ve ever wondered if you should hold a low pair or chase a flush, this app provides the mathematically correct answer in real-time. The interface mimics a real casino machine, providing an authentic experience without the risk of losing real money.

The app includes multiple variations of Video Poker, including Jacks or Better, Deuces Wild, and Bonus Poker. The 'Perfect Play' feedback is immediate; it highlights mistakes and explains why a different hold would have a higher expected value. It’s a very dry, functional app—don't expect flashing lights or cinematic animations—but as a utility for improving your game before a trip to Vegas, it is arguably the best in its class. It’s built for players who want to win, not just be entertained.

Dinsun Review

This isn't really a game for entertainment; it’s a study guide. As someone who appreciates systems and optimal play, I find the value here to be high. It doesn't waste time with flashy animations or 'virtual casinos.' It simply deals the cards and tells you when you've made a mistake. It is clinical, precise, and highly conservative.

The interface is dated, looking like something from the early 2000s, but that’s almost a plus in my book—it means no distractions. If you want to actually win at a casino, you use this. If you want to be entertained, look elsewhere. It’s a tool for a specific niche, and it serves that niche with zero fluff. I respect the honesty of its purpose.

Play, practice or get perfect hold advice on over 400 types of Video Poker games and over 2000 associated pay tables one might encounter in real casinos.
Once a game type and pay table are selected, there are three different modes of usage:
Perfect Hold Advice - select five cards from a deck and this app shows a perfect hold hand, that is, the cards to hold that maximizes the average or expected long-run payouts. (Some hands have more than one optimal play and you set the criteria to break the ties. These hands are indicated.)
Scored Practice - here a random hand is dealt, the user selects hold cards and then this is rated against a perfect hold hand.
Game Mode - a player just plays the game for fun where random cards are dealt, the player selects hold cards, a draw is made and any payouts recorded. The same draws are used to fill-in a perfect hold hand for comparisons. You are shown what is a perfect hold on each hand after play.
Each hand, regardless of mode, is saved for later review.
Trip Recorder - this feature is used to record data associated with video poker gambling trips or activity.
A Money Management feature gives classic gambler's ruin probabilities.
