New VP tool, snap a photo and instantly get a machine's RTP + best cards to hold

Hi! I built a video poker calculator that uses your phone's camera to instantly tell you a machine's RTP and the best cards to hold. No manual inputs, just take a photo and get results instantly: videopokeranalyzer.com

If you've ever asked yourself "hmm I'm not sure what cards I should hold here", or want to quickly tell if a machine has a paytable you should run away from, I think you'll get a lot of value out of this. It also supports games that don't currently have working calculators (like Ultimate X). It's free and runs on your phone's browser (no downloads or ads).

I've spent about four months on this, training a model with over 8,000 images and doing extensive testing to make sure the data is 100% accurate. It supports all 5-coin games, Ultimate X, and Super Times Pay (more coming soon, labor of love, took several weeks to build Ultimate X alone as there’s so many variables).

You're probably going to ask if this is legal.
Lots of things are illegal. Spitting on Fremont Street's sidewalk is illegal. Selling your dentures to a pawn shop in Vegas is illegal. Has anybody been prosecuted for either? I don’t know, I’m just a girl. This site doesn’t give you an advantage over the casino, it just allows you to make the best decision within the constraints the casino has set, the same way a blackjack strategy card does (something casinos allow and often provide to players). No jury is going to send somebody to jail for taking a picture of a video poker machine. Probably. I'm not a lawyer.

Hope you find it helpful!

Calling on all my Video Poker players

Hello fellow VP enjoyers! I built a video poker calculator that uses your phone's camera to instantly tell you a machine's RTP and the best cards to hold. No manual inputs, just take a photo and get results instantly: videopokeranalyzer.com

I'm a Vegas local and despite playing VP for years I still run into hands where I need to look up the right strategy or figure out if a paytable is fair. If you've ever asked yourself "hmm I'm not sure what cards I should hold here", or want to quickly tell if a machine has a paytable you should run away from, I think you'll really love this!

It supports all 5-coin games, as well as Ultimate X and Super Times Pay (more coming soon, labor of love, took several weeks to build Ultimate X as there’s so many variables). It's 100% free and there's no ads, I mostly built this for me and now that it works, I want to share it with other VP players so your money lasts longer!

Any video poker fanatics here? Need somebody near a casino to test something

Yo! I need somebody to test a video poker tool. If you've ever been like "hmm I'm not sure what the best hold is here", this solves that problem. You take a photo of any video poker hand and it'll tell you the machine's RTP and the best cards to hold (no more manually inputting data, this is just a photo). Also supports variants like Ultimate X and Super Times Pay which I couldn't find online.

I'm not going to be near a casino for another month and I can only test it on YouTube videos (lol). So far it works great but I'd love some in-person feedback. I don't want to advertise the link, so send me a DM or leave a comment and I'll send you the link. Thank you so much!

Basically: take a photo of any VP machine/hand and it'll instantly tell you the machine's RTP and the top hold decisions you should make, ranked by EV. It's like a video poker calculator, but you take a photo instead of manually inputting the paytable/cards yourself.

It's for new and advanced players to learn the games, avoid bad machines (it tells you to run far away if you upload a 6/5 JoB machine lol), and make the right hold decisions to keep more of your winnings/realize your EV.

Would anybody be interested in taking a look who's near a casino? I'd like to share it with a couple people and get feedback before doing a big launch. Let me know!

Hi guys! I built a VP tool that lets you take a photo of any VP machine/hand, instantly telling you the machine's RTP and the top hold decisions you should make ranked by EV. It's like a video poker calculator, but you take a photo instead of manually inputting the paytable/cards yourself.

I think it'll be a really great resource for both new and advanced players to learn the games, avoid bad machines (it tells people to run far away if they encounter a 6/5 JoB machine lol), and make the right hold decisions to keep more of your winnings.

Would anybody be interested in testing it out? I'm looking for feedback from a few people before I do a big launch. It runs on your browser, no downloads/no ads/no cost.

Please send me a DM/leave a comment and I'll send you the link!! Thanks so much :)
