If you’ve limited yourself to online video poker for the past few years, you’re not going to believe the changes that have taken place in video poker at the bricks and mortar casinos.

Recent Land-based Casino Video Poker Machine Developments
* One blogger just returned from Las Vegas and reports that Harrah’s has a video poker machine that allows players to play up to 100 hands simultaneously. He also commented that every few seconds, casino patrons are treated to a commercial about the machine, courtesy of the in-house audio system.
* Worried about finding a machine with a denomination you can afford? No problem. The casinos are integrating multi-denomination machines, where patrons select their preferred denomination before playing.
* No more standing in long lines to cash in coupons, freebies and promotions. The casinos have introduced machines with money readers than scan the coupons and credit players with the value of the scan.
* Las Vegas really does have something for every video poker player:
o Penny machines have hit Las Vegas. Now everyone can play video poker.
o Wynn Las Vegas sports slots and video poker in $5000 denominations.
