I have (finally!) completed a major upgrade to Dunbar's Risk Analyzer for Video Poker. Version 2.0 is the first upgrade in 9 years, and it incorporates a lot of new features. If you'd like to try out a demo version, email me at h_dunbar@hotmail.com.
One new feature I'm excited about is the ability to see what happens to your bankroll when you play a series of different games. For example, say you are going to Las Vegas and you plan to play about 5 hours of $1 NSUD, followed by 4 hours of 25c JOB 10-play. After that, you'd like to put in a few hours of $2 DDB. How much money will you need to bring to do that amount of play? DRA-VP 2.0 will tell you. You can see the combined effect on your bankroll of playing up to 5 different games on a trip, as well as the interim results after each individual game.
Here are some of the other new features in v2.0:·
· You can now do bankroll risk calculations on 46 multi-line video poker games.
· You can now include progressive jackpots.
· You can now include a jackpot bonus.
· You can now see how stopping when you hit a royal flush affects your bankroll.
· You can now see what happens to your overall results if you plan to stop when you reach a specified "Goal".
· DRA-VP 2.0 comes with twice as many (54) pre-loaded video poker games as v1.5.
As before, DRA-VP 2.0 can answer questions like these:
·How much money do I need to bring with me to have just a 1% chance of going broke in 10 hours of play? What if I want to play 20 hours?
·What is my long term chance of going broke if I start with $2,000?
·What is the chance I will be $3,000 ahead at some point during a 20-hour trip?
·How does cashback affect my bankroll requirements? What about tipping?
·What is the effect of occasional play errors on my risk of ruin?
·How does state tax withholding affect my bankroll requirements?
·What is the chance I will end my trip with at least a 20% gain in bankroll? A 40% gain?
·What is the chance I will have lost more than 60% of my bankroll at the end of a trip?
·What is the chance I will bust out before I've played 16 hours of a planned 20 hours?
·How long do I have to play this game to have about a 5/6 chance of being ahead?
DRA-VP 2.0 comes pre-loaded with 54 video poker pay schedules (46 are also 3-, 5-, 10-line) and room for another 50 custom games. It's easy to use and runs on any PC with Excel 2002 or later. (Sorry, it will not run on a Mac)
The price at ShopLVA.com is $19.95. It's available on CD, or can also be ordered as a download. If you already own DRA-VP 1.0 or 1.5, you can upgrade for $12.00.
Shoot me an email if you have any questions or want to try the demo.
