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 Valley.

There are rumblings Las Vegas is about to get its video poker bars, and its groove, back soon. (Update, 9/17/20: Bars will reopen at 11:59 p.m. Time square casino. on Sep. 20, 2020.)

1. The two best games available in Las Vegas are Full Pay Deuces Wild (FPDW – 100.76%) and Kings or Better Joker Wild (KBJW-100.65%) but they are only available at Locals Casinos and do not earn a standard video poker earning rate. Their pay tables are over a 100% theoretical return so if you're only concerned about the base game, seek these.
2. 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.
3. The single best video poker machine in Las Vegas is located at one of my personal favorites; The D. The casino at The D is located downtown on the Fremont Street Experience, which you'll recognize by the infamous red 'D' logo. The game we are talking about is called Loose Deuces Wild.
4. Best Video Poker Updated Weekly. The information on this page is supplied by vpFREE2, which is an extensive online database of video poker inventories throughout the US and Canada. The table below lists the current best casino video poker schedules in Las Vegas.

Color gradient across multiple cells excel for mac. Bars (that don't serve food) have been shut down for weeks due to the pandemic, including the most important bars, ones with video poker.

Let's just say we have some pent-up demand.

While some bars have found workarounds, like free-standing video poker away from the bar, it's just not the same, and video poker fans are champing at the bit to have their favorite places back online again.

Drink or video poker at the bar, dangerous. Drink at a table next to the bar, you're good. There will be a quiz.

Here, then, are 11 places we're going the moment Las Vegas has its video poker bars back again.

1. 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.

Vue Bar has gotten a little competition from the new Bar Canada, but Vue still has our heart. And possibly liver.

2. Whiskey Licker Up at Binion's

When Whiskey Licker Up opened at Binion's, there was no video poker. We changed their mind. There are four machines at one end of the non-revolving bar, and there's something magical about that spot. Bonus: Epic chicken tenders.

We're only telling you about this spot because we know you'll relinquish your machine if we show up. Ahem.

3. Front Yard at Ellis Island

Front Yard barely had a chance to get rolling before the closures hit. While the restaurant at Front Yard is open, we need the bar back! Pours from the bottle (no guns), a great atmosphere, awesome food menu and outstanding value make Front Yard a must-do near The Strip.

4. View Bar at Strat

This one's a gem we sometimes refer to as our home away from home. View Bar at Strat is all the things we love about a video poker spot. We've rarely had a losing session on their machines, the drinks and service are excellent, and the food (served from the nearby PT's Pub kitchen nearby) is top notch. Another video poker bar, Remix, is great, too, if food isn't one of your requirements.

Remember when people could play video poker sitting next to each other? Weird.

5. Lobby Bar at Mirage

We don't play at Lobby Bar a lot, but when we do, it's mostly for nostalgia. Lobby Bar at Mirage was the first video poker bar in Vegas that used drink monitoring via a voucher system. Drink monitoring has become pretty universal in Vegas now, but sometimes we play at Lobby Bar just to chat up the bartenders and beat the house to remind them who's boss.

Furnace at Downtown Grand probably should've had this spot on our list. Adobe premiere pro 2015 crack for mac. You're welcome, Mirage.

6. Prohibition Bar at Golden Gate

Prohibition Bar at Golden Gate is a glorious stretch of everything Vegas. Long pours, good games and a view that's hard to beat. (Two words: Dancing dealers.) Golden Gate is a tad loud, but if you're in the mood, it's hard to find a better spot to settle in and flex those quads.

A day without bartenders Valeria and Spyder barely qualifies as a day.

7. West Bar at Park MGM

The bar is recognizable to many, even if the name isn't. This petite casino bar at Park MGM is the quintessential casino bar, and has just the right amount of comped drinks (you have to use a players card now), socializing and service. Park MGM reopens Sep. 20, 2020, and we suspect our bars will be back by then, so we can't wait to visit West Bar at the first opportunity.

Park MGM is going smoke-free, another reason to drop some cheddar here.

8. Palace Bar at Four Queens

It's not fancy, but Palace Bar at Four Queens downtown is nevertheless epic. We'll always have a special place in our heart for Palace Bar, as it was where we got our first and only royal flush, ever. Honestly, all the video poker at Four Queens is great, including at another casino bar, Kings Bar, and inside Chicago Brewing. We can't wait to return.

Who doesn't want to play video poker at their wedding reception?

9. Longbar at The D

Best Video Poker Machines In Vegas

Longbar has a lot going on. It's loud as hell. There's a lot of sports. There's flair. There's testosterone. There's the energy of the table games nearby. The people-watching is off the charts. Oh, and there's also video poker. Longbar is the undisputed center of the action on Fremont Street, and seeing it without people has been a daily gut punch. We need our Longbar like a pack needs a fanny. Or something.

10. SG Bar in Summerlin

We had to include one for the locals, and SG Bar is one of our absolute favorite locals joints to drink, play, drink, eat and drink. Although, not always in that order. SG stands for 'Sierra Gold,' from Golden Entertainment, owners of The Strat. The atmosphere is a notch above the typical PT's or Sierra Gold, and SG Bar just does everything right. It's about 15 minutes west of The Strip, and the minute bars open again, we'll be there downing pot stickers and foolishly giving up full houses to go for four-of-a-kinds.

SG Bar is always happy to see you.

11. Chandelier Bar at Cosmopolitan

Last, but not least, is the jewel of The Strip. Chandelier Bar isn't so much a video poker bar as an experience. The gorgeous surroundings and liberal drink vouchers make this spot a vital part of any visit to Las Vegas. Vegas won't really be Vegas again until we can play video poker at Chandelier Bar, so let's make it sooner than later.

Chandelier Bar at Cosmopolitan is the fancy by which all other fancy is measured.

So, that's our itinerary for when video poker bars open up in Las Vegas again.

We'd love to hear about your favorite places to play.

For the record, Boar's Head Bar at Main Street would've been on our list, but the casino isn't open yet.

Has the closure of video poker bars influenced your decision to visit? Can you scratch your itch playing video poker on the casino floor?

Not that itch, the metaphorical one. Largest casino in louisiana.

Let's get video poker bars open again in Las Vegas. These machines aren't going to 'one jack off' themselves!

Tourists often have a hard time finding good returns on video poker when visiting Las Vegas. This is mainly because most of the games on the Las Vegas Strip have a house edge of at least 2%. On top of that, the games at McCarran Airport are far worse than any of the games you'll find at many Vegas casinos. Serious video poker players will want to stay away from the Strip all together when visiting Las Vegas, or at least take a short taxi ride to find the better games with a higher RTP.

While that is the case, there are still many options available to casino advantage players; you just have to know where to look. Below we'll go into further detail on how you can find the best casinos to play video poker when visiting Las Vegas.

#1 The D: Best Video Poker Game in Las Vegas

The single best video poker machine in Las Vegas is located at one of my personal favorites; The D. The casino at The D is located downtown on the Fremont Street Experience, which you'll recognize by the infamous red 'D' logo. The game we are talking about is called Loose Deuces Wild and it returns 101.6% on five coins (with perfect play).

There is just one single machine with this game on it at The D, and it's located on the second floor. All machines found on this level operate on coins. The denomination for this Loose Deuces Wild machine is a measly $.05. If that machine is taken, there is also a 10/7/5 Double Bonus game available in quarters just a few steps away.

Honorable Mention: Video Poker at The M Resort & Casino

We recently decided to add in The M Resort & Casino as an honorable mention. As of 2018, The M has one of the best overall video poker offerings for players among casinos in the Las Vegas area. When considering the 99% payback games available at machines around the resort, including at the bars, The M casino in Henderson is a great choice for video poker players.

There are many 99% machines available in the high limit room as well, with denominations as low as $1. This casino is about 20 minutes off the strip, but is one of the newest properties in Henderson and has one of the most modern layouts among Las Vegas Casinos.

Other Great Video Poker Games in Downtown Las Vegas

The D is not the only place on Fremont Street to find good video poker games that return over 100%. While the Vegas Strip's positive payback video poker machines are few and far between, Fremont Street has a lot to offer in this regard. Below we have outlined the casinos with positive payback on video poker.

#2 El Cortez Video Poker

This one's a gem we sometimes refer to as our home away from home. View Bar at Strat is all the things we love about a video poker spot. We've rarely had a losing session on their machines, the drinks and service are excellent, and the food (served from the nearby PT's Pub kitchen nearby) is top notch.

While the Vegas Strip's positive payback video poker machines are few and far between, Fremont Street has a lot to offer in this regard. Below we have outlined the casinos with positive payback on video poker.

#2 El Cortez Video Poker

The El Cortez offers several $0.25 full pay Deuces Wild machines which have a 100.76% payback. Aside from this, they also spread 10/7/5 Double Bonus Poker in several locations on the casino floor. With this abundance of great options, it is one of the best casinos to visit for playing video poker.

#3 Las Vegas Club Video Poker (Now Closed)

The casino at Las Vegas Club in downtown Las Vegas spreads full pay Joker Poker which has a 100.64% return. All of these games operate on coins and return over 100%, which is much better than those located on the strip. This casino has since been sold, closed and a new property will take its place. For posterity and reference, we have left this in our guide.

#4 Boyd Gaming Video Poker

Two of the three Boyd Gaming properties in downtown Las Vegas offer video poker machines that return over 100%. In downtown Las Vegas, California and Main Street Station have 10/7/5 Double Bonus. These casinos also have a variety of full pay games that return 99.5% or better. Main Street Station has full pay Jacks or Better at the bar as well.

#5 Plaza Las Vegas Video Poker

It is also worth noting that Plaza Las Vegas recently upgraded all of its video poker machines, many of which now return over 100%. Its best game is 10/7/5 Double Bonus, which returns 100.17%. It also has 9/6 Bonus Poker Deluxe and 9/6 Jacks or Better. Both of these games are located at the bar, which is an added plus.

Vegas Locals' Casinos with the Best Video Poker

If you are looking to get away from Fremont Street and the Las Vegas Strip, there are many locals casinos that offer 100%+ return video poker machines. All major Station Casinos properties offer video poker games that return over 100%. Red Rock, Santa Fe Station, Green Valley Ranch, Boulder Station and Texas Station are among the casinos that offer these games. Not all machines at these properties have the great returns. The ones that do will be clearly advertised, so they are fairly easy to spot.

Best Video Poker Machines To Play In Vegas

The best game on these video poker machines is full pay Deuces Wild. Other great options include 10/7/5 Double Bonus and 10/6 Double Double Bonus. Some of the machines also offer full pay Joker Poker. All games are available in quarters. The Double and Double Double Bonus games are also available in $.50 and $1 denominations.

Palms spreads full pay Deuces Wild, Double Bonus and Double Double Bonus. Sam's Town also offers these games. All are available in quarters.

Never Use Players Card in Full Pay Machines

When many Video poker players start out, they learn that they should always use a players card when giving video poker action. The games listed above are one of the only exceptions. The reason for this is that casinos will often assume players that play on these devices are experts who are giving up no edge on the game. This can stop all mailers from casinos which means no more free play or hotel offers. For this reason it will do you well to avoid using a players card on these types of machines; even if you have a players card at the casino.

How Can Casinos Make Money Off 100% Video Poker?

Casinos still make money from video poker games that return more than 100%. That is because many players will not play all five coins required for the extra royal flush bonus. Most of the games available require a complicated basic strategy that differs from Jacks or Better. Many players do not put in the time to learn these strategies, and the casinos know this. The Deuces Wild games found on these machines should not be played like a normal game with a lower pay table, since it has a completely different strategy.

For these reasons, casinos still manage to make money from the games we mentioned in this article. Always make sure to play five coins every hand and learn the proper strategy so that you can play at an advantage on full pay machines. This will result in a theoretical 100%+ return on your play.
