This new second edition introduces Dan's Attractiveness Index and contains information on games that were introduced since the first edition was published.

In the late 1980's Dan Paymar moved to Las Vegas where his interest in video poker began. His first endeavor was to survey the casinos and publish a directory of favorable video poker opportunities. Not satisfied with the strategies then available, he put his computer experience to use. He analyzed the games and published his results in the predecessor to this book, Video Poker – Precision Play. The book evolved and expanded, going through many revisions as new games began to appear and questions about how to play them arose. Now out of print, the tenth edition was the last version before this book.

Dan currently works part time as a poker dealer instructor and still plays video poker, but his primary interest is sharing his knowledge and information with others through his various publications.
