"The addition of video to the strip poker game is fun, but the entertainment wore off for me quickly." |

Today we're looking at Video Strip Poker, which isn't going to be your typical paysite of course. The main focus here is the strip poker game, with the added touch of the girl coming to you in full video instead of static photos. It's an interesting idea that works well to revive this old-school internet game. $20 a month gets you inside, which gets you access to all their poker girls, as well as a small collection of content.
The goods:
- Unique idea. I really like the video aspect of the strip poker, since random pictures just don't cut it these days. You get some movement, a little audio, and it makes it all feel a little more real.
- Not too expensive. $20 a month isn't too bad, especially considering the unique nature of the site. I assume they had to buy or lease the software here at a minimum, plus get some content in there.
- New girls come up semi-regularly. The updates are a bit random, but have been doing well lately. Around twice a month or so, a new girl/scene is put up for some new poker action. That's better than expected, though I assume it's not too complicated to add new material.
The bads:
- Small site. There are just 17 people to play poker with currently, and a small collection of bonus content you can check out as well. There's really not a ton to see yet.
- Game play can be quite slow. It's almost frustrating how slow it goes. You can't do anything (bet, check, etc.) while the girl's video is playing. Her video plays on every move pretty much, so there are a lot of delays. Plus, the play is so back and forth that it takes forever for someone to lose their $100.
- Quality isn't great. The videos are pretty small, and the quality just isn't there. It's pretty innovative in terms of the site, but the video quality is definitely old school and bad.
Conclusion:
It'll be a little tough to put a score on a site like Video Strip Poker, since it's so far removed from a normal paysite. It's pretty unique at least, and should provide some entertainment, but I don't know how long I could stick around this one and pay the monthly fee. More content, more updates, and better quality are what I'd look for long term here.
