Our Expert Score
Video Poker Trainer is less of a game and more of a highly effective educational tool for anyone looking to master the casino floor. It manages to strip away the distractions of gambling and focuses purely on the mathematical strategy of Video Poker. The app provides real-time feedback on every hand you play, telling you if your 'hold' was the statistically correct choice based on the payout table. This 'tutor' approach is invaluable for building the muscle memory needed for real-world play.
The interface is clean and mirrors the classic 'Jacks or Better' machines perfectly. While it doesn't offer high-end graphics or a complex narrative, its utility as a trainer is unmatched. The detailed statistical tracking allows you to see exactly where your logic is failing—whether you're over-valuing inside straights or under-valuing low pairs. It’s a polished, professional tool that will pay for itself many times over for the serious poker player.

Tips & Walkthrough
After the deal, select the cards you want to keep. If you choose incorrectly, the app will pause and show you the 'Optimal Play' based on the payout odds. Use this moment to understand why keeping a high card is often better than chasing a 4-card flush.
Gameplays
Review the 'Strategy Error' log after 100 hands. It will categorize your mistakes, allowing you to see if you consistently misplay specific hands like 'Low Pair vs High Card.' Focus your next session on correcting that specific pattern.

Would Like to See $$
Sat May 28 2022 Tx 12 GaugeI would pay a little extra to have the ability to see a running total of my $$ wins/losses. Five stars if it had this feature.
Great app!
Mon Apr 23 2018 MGZLVThe perfect app for practicing Jacks or Better—a popular game that is also foundational for learning more complex video poker games. Lots of good features—you can edit the pay tablet to reflect the game you’re playing, you can practice hands and check the odds on your selection, and obviously, just enjoy “playing.” One feature I love is being able to enter a specific hand and analyze the correct move if you get stumped. This is a *must* for anyone who is planning to play for real $ and wants to come out on the winning side over the long term.
Would like to see a payout feature.
Thu Mar 11 2021 LED3rdNot having a way to track the payout, as in a real game at the bottom of the screen (in Real Play), feels as if something is missing. So, I had to purchase other apps that have that feature. Having that feature allows one to realize how fast a bankroll could be lost /gained. With such feature I would have given the app a five stars.
Great app when you’re sitting at a machine
Fri Oct 25 2019 scott_jbI love this app. I use it whenever I’m at the casino. You can put the cards that you have in the analyzer and it will tell you what to do. The latest update crashes after every hand which is a bummer, but I’ll still use the app.
VP Trainer is a Great App!
Thu Jun 01 2017 Steve DeasI have used VP Trainer many years with much success. My wife and I visit casinos quite often and use the trainer when ever in doubt as to which is the better hand to hold working toward the Royal Flush. My routine is listening to soft jazz on iPhone with VP Trainer near-by to second guess a difficult hand.
Nice VP trainer
Thu Feb 28 2019 bearswalkerI especially like the Real Play feature. I’ve asked for a couple enhancements, but I haven’t noticed any bugs. I like to use a VP trainer in the weeks before a Vegas trip, to knock down the cobwebs. I also like to drink while I’m training for that casino ambiance. :-) This trainer has met my needs.
So doesn't work with update
Thu Dec 02 2021 MichRiggsWith latest update there's no way to press the Clear button when in analyse a hand mode. Apple decided to add the three dots at the top of the screen for multi-tasking/split screen without the ability to turn it off or move it so now when you try to clear the cards the multi tasking window comes up. It's been three years, time to update the app.
Learned a good amount
Wed Dec 14 2022 TLange29Great training modules with a simple and easy to use real play option with live feedback. Worth the money.
