He provided strategies for dozens of video poker games and showed that with the proper strategy the game offered some of the best odds in the casino.
He also performed mathematical analyses on many other games including Let It Ride, Spanish 21, Caribbean Stud and Five Deck Frenzy. He wrote a total of 9 books on casino gambling including Expert Video Poker for Las Vegas and Expert Video Poker for Atlantic City.
He died in 1998 but his gaming website Compu-Flyers is still considered a leading gambling publication and is now run by his son Elliot Frome.
