KNOW WHAT THE MACHINE IN FRONT OF YOU ACTUALLY PAYS. Most video poker apps teach one game and hope the machine you sit down at matches. Video Poker Edge solves the machine instead. NEW — THE PAY TABLE SOLVER Pick from 18 real pay schedules, or type in the numbers printed on the glass in front of you. The app identifies the game and computes its exact return under perfect play. Drop a full house from 9 to 8 and it tells you you have moved from 9/6 Jacks or Better to 8/6, and exactly what that costs. Two of the eighteen return over 100% with optimal play. The app tells you which. Jacks or Better 9/6 through 6/5 · Bonus Poker · Bonus Poker Deluxe · Double Bonus · Double Double Bonus · Triple Double Bonus · Super Aces · Aces and Faces · Aces and Eights · Tens or Better · All American THE TRAINER Practice 9/6 Jacks or Better — the full-pay machine every serious player starts on. Every hold you make is graded against the real optimum, computed from a complete solve of all 2,598,960 five-card deals, in under a millisecond, with no network call. • Training Mode — hints and immediate feedback • Test Mode — prove it without the training wheels • Drill Mode — practice the patterns you miss most • Strategy Reference — all 36 optimal plays, ranked by expected value • Progress Tracking — see your weak spots close NOT A SIMPLIFIED RULE LIST The 36-rule human strategy is in the app, checked against Wizard of Odds. But it is the teaching layer, not the engine. Underneath, every position is solved exhaustively — 134,459 strategically distinct hands, each of the 32 possible holds evaluated against every remaining draw, precomputed and shipped inside the app. BEYOND THE CARDS The meta-game that turns good play into profitable play: pay table evaluation, player's club math, promotional multipliers, bankroll management. NO ADS. NO COINS. NO SUBSCRIPTION. One purchase, everything included. No account, no telemetry, no network calls — the whole solver runs on your phone. Nothing to sell you after the download. Built by one developer who wanted a tool that does not approximate. Note: the trainer deals and grades 9/6 Jacks or Better. The pay table solver covers all eighteen schedules and answers a different question — whether the machine you are looking at is worth playing at all. ## Chart rankings - #164 in Top Paid · Casino (US App Store) ## Version history (last 2 releases) ### 1.2.0 — 2026-09-14 Know what the machine in front of you actually pays.

ALSO IN THIS UPDATE Your stats, achievements and settings are now protected against a rare read failure that could reset them. The pay table is now reachable from the main menu and from the header, instead of one buried link. Return figures throughout the app name the game they belong to, rather than quoting one number as though every machine paid the same. A new app icon. Still no ads, no coins, no accounts and no network calls — the whole solver runs on your phone. One purchase, everything included. ### 1.0 — 2026-04-10 No release notes. ## Apps similar to Video Poker Edge | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Blackjack Live ™ Casino 21](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/blackjack-live-casino-21/id6450670256) | 4.8 (1,515) | Free | Games | | [Blackjack - Vegas Casino Real](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/blackjack-vegas-casino-real/id966674452) | 4.7 (4,683) | Free | Games | | [Triple Card Poker Casino](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/triple-card-poker-casino/id1513379287) | 4.7 (18,132) | Free | Games | | [Ultimate X Poker - Video Poker](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/ultimate-x-poker-video-poker/id1533693379) | 4.9 (26,867) | Free | Games | | [Best Hold](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/best-hold/id587025005) | 4.0 (6) | Free | Games | | [Jacks or Better Online](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/jacks-or-better-online/id1631607681) | — | Free | Games | ## More apps by PHILLIP ANDREW CLAPHAM - [Blackjack Edge: Card Counting](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/blackjack-edge-card-counting/id6758923752) - [Nowhere in Particular](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/nowhere-in-particular/id6798741667) All apps by PHILLIP ANDREW CLAPHAM: https://appshunter.io/developer/1869178922 ## Related topics [video poker edge](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/video-poker-edge) · [poker edge](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/poker-edge) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
