Best Video Poker Machines In Vegas

The Strip continues to downgrade it’s gambling options and we are observing a gaming migration downtown. This is very much reflected in the feedback I get whenever I ask about people’s favorite places to play. Video poker is certainly no exception. I received so much feedback that I can’t possibly name everyone, but thank you if you did participate. The more voices I get the better, as I, of course, have not tried every VP bank in town. I rely on you. And as always, you all came through.

Overwhelming favorite:

Here, then, are 11 places we’re going the moment Las Vegas has its video poker bars back again. Vue Bar at The D. This is at the top of our list of favorite video poker bars. The machines are generous, the bartenders are friendly and they pour liberally from the bottle. Pretty much a trifecta of video poker bar greatness. A Station Casinos exclusive, our Triple Pay Deuces video poker machines offer an incredible 99.9% payback. 100% Payback Video Poker From Deuces Wild to Double Double Bonus Poker, Station Casinos has more 100% payback machines than anyone in the entire Las Vegas. The Plaza Hotel & Casino. An iconic fixture of the Downtown skyline since 1971, the Plaza has the. Station Casinos is home to most of the 100 percent or more video poker games in Las Vegas. These are advertised as Optimum Play machines. These can be found at Red Rock Resort, Green Valley Ranch.

Boar’s Head Bar – Main Street Station

Great odds and craft beer. Do we need anything else? Should we just stop? To add to this, MSS is still running their “Score With 4” promotion, in which you receive a scratch off card for every natural 4 OAK you hit, with the opportunity to win cash. If Boar’s Head wasn’t on your list before, it should be now.

Downtown

Vue Bar – The D

Upstairs you’ll find a fun vibe and great service. Great odds for bonus poker players.

Longbar – The D

It’s hard to find a better party downtown. The best odds are on the bonus deluxe game. But the service and atmosphere more than make up for odds adjustments.

Furnace – Downtown Grand

This is my personal choice depending on the time. While not the best odds, I enjoy the double double bonus progressive game. Quick, but limited drink service and easy to see tvs. My favorite part? The casino is rarely busy, so it’s not very smoky.

El Cortez

Low limits, good odds, and goofy promotions make this East Fremont haunt a good option.

The Strip

Decimated odds have riddled the Strip recently, but you can still find some fun places to drop some coin. These spots may come at a premium price, but it doesn’t mean they are a bad value:

Cosmo

Chandelier Bar

The lower tier of this multiple level bar doesn’t have great odds, but is routinely rated as one of the best bars in Vegas. The gambling is just an added perk to an already elevated experience.

Bond

Machines

Dave shared this favorite on the FB page. Much like Chandelier, premium cocktails and service make up for limited odds.

Interlude – Cromwell

This center strip casino bar sits in what is becoming my favorite property on LV Blvd. Good drinks, fast service, and a stone’s throw from my current favorite lounge, Bound.

TAG – Linq

Caesars properties are some of the worst offenders when it comes to poor VP odds, but if you want to watch a game and get some VP action, TAG is a good choice. Their beer selection, although dwindling slightly, is still one of the best as casino bars are concerned.

Luxor

Best Poker Casinos In Vegas

This wouldn’t be a proper list if I didn’t include my guilty pleasure casino. Both listener Brian and I dig this place and it’s actually not a horrible choice, at least by Strip standards, for VP. You can still find a decent machine here or there, especially if you find a high progressive.

NYNY

Although you won’t earn points on their best $0.25 machines, they have some of the best JoB odds on the Strip. Plus, you’re close to Nine Fine Irishmen and can get one of the best pints of the black stuff.

Off the beaten path:

Palms

One of the more underappreciated properties, especially when it comes to gambling. It’s a comfortable space and has great VP offerings. It has three options at the $0.25 level, deuces wild, double bonus, and double double bonus, which payback over 100%! They even have a few 1 and 2 cent machines with good payouts as well.

Gold Coast

Just a great low roller casino and is close to the Palms. Go there. Yuk it up with some of the elder locals, smoke a pack of Marlboro Reds, and have a ball.

Red Rock

A lot of fanfare on Twitter for this resort. A beautiful property and a favorite of gambling megastars, Marc Meltzer and John Mehaffey. Head to the Rocks Lounge or the Lucky Lounge, lot of lounges, for the generous progressive games. Good drinks, good service, and tvs. When you’re done, go have some shots with grandma playing bingo.

Southpoint

A locals favorite about 5 miles south of the airport, this casino offers an abundant choice of cheap VP with over 99% payback. If you have a favorite variation, Southpoint has it at a good price.

LVA suggestions:
