There's one thing that I've noticed with newer video poker machines. These manufacturers seem to be offering more twists & turns with introducing new vp games w/multipliers that usually cost more per hand to play than the traditional games. I for one don't like playing these. These newer vp games/machines give me the impression that they are turning the traditional vp machines into random slot machines where it depends more on luck than skill to win. If I'm serious about winning on vp I prefer playing on the older (traditional) IGT vp machines : )
