Optimum Video Poker™ (OpVP™) is the only video poker analysis and trainer program being marketed directly by its principal developer (who is also a regular player), so you know that it's designed to be easy to use and to provide the features needed by all players -- beginners, recreational and professional.

Although the game can be played just for fun, there are no unnecessary frills. (If you want music, turn on your stereo. If you want the sound of coins dropping, rattle some pennies in a coffee can.) Instead, OpVP is designed to be highly functional, providing the tools you need to improve your skills and protect your bankroll. Many of these tools are not currently available on any other such program.

What makes Optimum Video Poker special?

• Fastest game analysis available
• Widest variety of bankroll calculations
• Easy hand analysis and penalty card examination
• Easy to enter a hand or to change just one card
• Keyboard shortcuts for almost all functions
• Runs native on either Macintosh or Windows
• Large, clean card images for easy play

  And much more. See below for details.

   

System requirements:

Minimum on either platform:
10 MB of free hard drive space
12 MB of RAM space

On some versions of Windows, some things will look strange unless you have Courier and Helvetica fonts installed. It is necessary to hide the tool bar at the bottom of the screen on any Windows system with only 800x600 display. (OpVP will run on Windows ME, and all functions and calculations are accurate, but there are known display problems that are not covered by warranty.)
