Video poker is a combination of gambling machines (so called slots) and the game of poker. The player`s skills in this game are as important as the player`s good luck. An experienced player is able to decrease casino`s predominance to a fraction of percentage using a good strategy. It obviously depends on the player`s skills and the pay chart of a certain machine. You can still find video poker machines, in some casinos, where there is a player`s predominance not the casino`s. The point is that those casinos can afford that, simply because most of the guests don`t use the right strategy.
Video poker rules

Casino`s predominance in Video Poker
The casino`s use so called RNG (Random Number Generator) in video poker machines (as well as in slots). It is a kind of a computer which decides about the percentage of casino`s predominance over the player. However, contrary to slots most of the Local Gaming Commissions require that RNG works exactly the same in video poker as if the player played at the table against the croupier using one pack of cards. It is of great importance because it means that the player is able to decrease the casino`s predominance to a minimum by using the right strategy.
For example, Las Vegas Gambling Commission Board requires that video poker machines should work that way (mentioned above). The casino may lose the licence if that requirement is not fulfilled.
