Skip Hughes

Skip Hughes is the founder of several of the best video poker forums on the internet. These sites combine all the information a gambler needs about playing video poker in casinos. Even leading video poker figures such as John Robison (of Casino City Times fame) admit they read Skip Hughes forums before choosing where to play video poker games.

Skip Hughes Gambling Strategy Cards

Skip Hughes has been in the gaming industry since before the Internet. As early as the 1980's, Skip Hughes produced laminated strategy cards for casinos. These cards show a player the rules of a particular game. If you've played in more than a handful of casinos around the country, you have no doubt handled one of his strategy cards.

Mr. Hughes still produces strategy cards, but he is better known by gamers for the web information he produces. When the internet was still young, Hughes had trouble finding a good forum for video poker players. To remedy the situation, Skip Hughes decided to create his own forum. Since 1997, Skip Hughes Group Video Poker Forum has been the place to go to learn insider's info on the game.

Skip Hughes Video Poker Websites

In the time since, Skip Hughes has launched vpinsider.com, and vpplayer.com. Both sites present information on comp offers and full pay tables for just about any video poker machine you'll find. Skip Hughes was also associated with vphomepage.com, a video poker portal which Hughes once described as the world's greatest casino directory. Vphomepage.com no longer appears to be online.

These sites give players all kind of inside information about calculating odds and finding the right video poker machines to play. You can read the latest inside information from other video poker players who visit these sites regularly. In many cases, a different player is given responsibility over one or two favorite local casinos, supplemented by anyone else who might have something to add.

Since most reviews of casinos are in the forum category, you'll be exposed to a wide range of ideas and opinions about video poker. Usually, players will reach a consensus. Even when this doesn't happen, new and intermediate video poker players should learn interesting insight and valuable pieces of video poker knowledge.
