Video poker machines are similar to slot machines with the sole exception being the manufacturer cannot tinker with the possible outcome of the randomly generated cards –so there is the same likelihood of receiving a 2 as there is of receiving an Ace. So, the way the manufacturer is able to give the casino an edge is through the amount of the payouts –although because of the nature of the game, sometimes video poker machines will allow players using a perfect strategy to actually have an advantage over the machine.

Every casino-goer knows the saying that “the house always has an edge” but as I said above there are certain video poker machines that buck this trend, and it’s your job to find these machines. You will spot these machines by their payout table and if you can implement a PERFECT strategy you will walk away a winner in the long-run. When you think about the player points, and other bonuses you may receive, these machines typically pay back well over 100% to the player, even if you are at a .5% disadvantage to the house.

There are a number of different types of Video Poker machines, and using an optimal strategy will significantly decrease the casinos edge on every machine –which is typically between .5% to -.7% in favor of the player. But most people choose to play Video Poker because it provides anonymous play; the game is played very quickly; the house edge is extremely low; the payouts can be very high; and it allows the players to make skillful decisions.

If you play video poker and do not use a perfect strategy you can find yourself at a huge disadvantage to the casino; instead of a mere .5% your disadvantage could be as high as 5% or more. The best Video Poker machine in terms of payouts is typically the Deuces Wild video poker machines, which can be found in virtually every slots parlor.

Video Poker should be considered a skill game since a player could purposely LOSE if they want to –much like blackjack and poker—which is how many experts determine skill vs. luck when it comes to gambling games.
