Action Gaming’s Spin Poker stands test of time

Unlike slot players who embrace new generations of games, video poker players have been unwilling to accept manufacturers’ “bells and whistles.”

HOOK - A Jack. So named because the "J" resembles a hook.
BLACK - When referring to chips, black usually stands for $100 casino chips. "This guy sits down with a stack of blacks and raises the first bet." Not ALL casinos use black for $100 but that is the common usage.
KICKER - In hands containing pairs and trips, the highest card not matched. In draw games, sometimes a card kept for deception purposes.
NO-LIMIT POKER - A game where there is no maximum bet; a player can wager any amount (perhaps above some minimum) up to whatever money is on the table in front of him.
PROP - Also PROPOSITION PLAYER. An employee of the gaming establishment whose primary purpose is to keep enough players at a table to prevent breaking up the game for lack of players. Unlike SHILLs "props" make a small hourly wage but play with their own money, winning or losing based on their skill.
LIVE ONE - The best kind of opponent, a poor player with a lot of money to lose and in a hurry to lose it.
