Episode 68 - Video Poker Pro Frank Kneeland

An attempted stroll through the somewhat cluttered mind of the author of the only modern book on progressive video poker. In his book, Frank Kneeland provides techniques and methods for finding the best-paying machines and making winning progressive strategies. He also includes a history of pro gambling with a spotlight on video poker & slot teams in Las Vegas. He explains as well how the teams were structured and operated and who owned them—sans last names of course. A mathematical & computer genius, the author has avoided creating an overly mathematical book. The Secret World of Video poker Progressives is instead downright funny at times as was this interview. He provides information & formulas for calculating true machine return (including meter-rise) using the very same mathematics the teams used back in the day. 291 pages, paperback, 2010.
