I have lived here for over 25 years. It has never been as bad for video poker at Tampa Hard Rock as it is now. They don't even give me free play anymore unless I play slots. This casino is poison for the video poker player. sq33756

I play the poker machine at the bar and have had great luck there. 25 cents or 50cents are the best. Going back today to win big. Peterw

Very little has changed since my last report on 3/2022. There are 69 VP machines offering JoB, BP, DBP, DDBP, DW, JP, TDB, DWB at denominations of 5c, 10c, 25c, 50c, and $1. Here are some highlights: The best games are 9/6 Double Double Bonus (98.98%), and Illinois Deuces Wild (98.91%). 9/5 JoB (98.45%) and 30-8-5 Bonus Poker (98.48%) are available all the way down to 5c. There is one progressive bank (6 machines) offering 8/5 JoB at 25c. There is one bank (4 machines) of Ultimate X Poker. The highest denomination on any machine is $1 and there are no VP machines in the high limit room. pdx

With the rollout of the players club called Unity, Hard Rock has decided to make it even more difficult for players to earn comps, comp hotel nights and tier credits. Their Customer Service Department confirmed it now takes an additional 30% of play to earn one tier credit. Of course this is mentioned in any marketing material, I only found after my last visit, when I checked my account balance I earned 400 to 500 less tier credits that I have earned in my prior visits. I go there one a month for 3 nights, I keep going due being lucky on most visits playing video poker, they have added many new video porker machines, not full pay but not bad. rickwozniak
