Video poker needs skills but slot is like a chance based. I have not yet tried any of these but have heard from people say that video poker is played in add and requires skill than a chance. Pokers are either played physically in hands or on videos but whereas, the slots are placed on a programmed machine. When its programmed, then the robo function will lead the game instead of the player.

Just read the post above yours. It's not the poker game that played physically in hands. I even put a link just few page to clarify others that it's not the usual poker we know where there's a table, a dealer and set of players playing with each other.

A user here pointed out that video poker doesn't need any skills.

Skill is still needed, if you do not use any skill while playing video poker means that you are playing it blindly without knowing what cards to hold in order to get higher possible wining chance. At least you need to have a knowledge about winning cards combination in video poker, this knowledge may increase your winning chance although the result will always based on luck.

That is why I always choose to play slot because of its simplicity and easy luck base games more straightforward than video poker which is more technical and requires some level of skills.

Dont know on what you are talking about Video poker since this isnt a typical poker game that you do need to play on hand.This is a bit different and more on luck based and it isnt really
that hard to understand.Just like on what others been saying above people doesnt really know on what video poker is and what actual poker is.They do keep saying on things which
arent actually on the topic that they are responding on things which arent really relevant at all.

For me, video poker is not much different from slots because both games do not require any special skills. The only difference in these gambling games is that in video poker you have to choose the cards you will hold with the expectation of increasing the probability of gathering a higher combination. Slots games allow you to choose the number of paylines and their location, so this game is only based on luck.

If I were asked what I prefer to play I would definitely choose slots because I like them more because of the huge variety in design and in the construction of bonus systems.

The knowledge of poker rules will not increase your winning chance in Video Poker. Please read the link posted by @chaser15. In addition to that text I can say that you can blindly choose holding any card, and then get a full house, a straight flush, or four of a kind with the card you holding, or with other cards. In short, you can always hit DRAW without holding any cards, and perform better than someone knowing the rules and contemplating every next move. That's how games of chance work.

Modern-day gambling has increased the quest to gain more skills in playing the various gambling games, while some games require skills to play them, others are relatively simple to play and require little or no skills in playing them.
As the topic specifies slot and video poker are the most friendly and simple games to play for me but the two have some disparity which I will love us to discuss on this thread.
1 what are the similarities between slot games and video pokers?
2 between slot and video poker which is more technical and requires skills to play?
3 what are your personal experiences with both games?

As for me, their similarity would be winning by luck. However, I could see that poker requires a good strategy that slot. In poker, you should know how to at least guess your opponent's next move and you have to be very observant. Playing poker continuously would help you increase your skills in playing it. Winning in the slot is by pure luck because you couldn't guess the next movements of the machine.

Video poker really requires more skill than luck and having reliable skills can turn things around even if your card situation isn't that great, as role-playing skills and chances of winning will be easier to come by.
especially if the game has been going on for a long time it will be easy for your skills to play a role because the long game time makes it easier for you to master and read the game, if you don't have the skills to play poker you don't need to do it because no matter how much capital you have it will definitely run out.

Could you elaborate bro? Which reliable skills are required to play at video poker according to you? I don't understand what you mean. Score of all combinations available is usually displayed, then you don't even need to remember them.

Playing a card game indeed need skills to manage the card because there will be many various cards that we can arrange to be the highest card. Yes, skills and experience will be the master role of this game so when you play with an opponent that knows better than you in a card game, you can try your skills and hopefully, you will win from him. Otherwise, if you lose, you will get more experience from the expert.

Same question as above.

Video poker is almost like slots in the way that they are programmable also,you can't try your skills on a programmed machine as in the end video poker is the same.When you play physically or against other people in tournaments there is where skill does matter but you have to be careful of people using multi accounts to play poker in the same tournament as you,they are playing with more than one pair of cards.Thankfully to great anti cheat protection from reputable casinos this almost never happens.

As for the slot there is pure luck when you play them,however some slots have different patterns of game play than others,some of them will have higher hit frequency,some higher or lower RTP and some big jackpots.In the long term you will lose money in slots as they are programmed like this.

Blackjack and Poker are still mostly luck and require alot more attention not to make your luck worse, at least slots is consistent and easy to play. Depends what you want, in both cases you want to play through the actual game first before going into bigger betting dont get greedy make sure you have an actual plan to proceed with.
Someone said you cant walk away from slots a winner, which is so wrong you definitely can just make sure you dont wear out any good luck you do have. Be reasonable and you walk away with a profit, I know because I've done that more then once but overall it is just a game and of course it has a cost to play.

Your post shows another time that you are posting without reading the posts of the other users, and you are just spamming. Prestongold doesn't talk about PVP Poker here but about VIDEO Poker. This game has nothing to do with pvp poker, only noobs at gambling and people posting without reading threads make this mistake.

Its seems people does have misunderstood on between Poker and Video Poker.

Yes thank you for posting it but unfortunately I don't think spammers and shitposters like this guy will open your links or even notice your post. That's sad but even after 9 pages, shitposters will still come to talk about pvp poker. Prestongold should change his OP if he wants to avoid that.

Slot games and video poker both definitely have some differences and I think each has its advantages. Slot games refer more to luck while video poker we have to really think about it well and carefully in order to get the desired results. That doesn't mean that slot games don't require thinking, both must be thought out carefully, it's just that the skill level and strategy are different. Both have their advantages and if you are someone who likes a challenge then video poker is the thing that can be joined.

Yeah, high-risk high reward, If you are afraid to risk then I guess you don't deserve high rewards since most of the gambling games are built like that. No one can win without exerting effort on gambling but if so, I think it's because of 100% luck. Both games have risks but I can tell that Poker can predict the probability of winning, you can avoid the loss without risking anything. Always expect the worst outcome because it is not always a win-win situation in both gambling games.

Well perhaps the based on luck games is no chance that you can increase your chances of winning but I think it is different with video poker. If you have knowledge of how to play poker perhaps there will be a chance that you can defeat the house edge --not like a slot game, it is based on the provably fair result or in the random generator numbers result or ^[RGN]. But that is right, in gambling, there is no win-win situation and you cant able have a long winning streak, gambling was designed that 25% only your chances of winning, and the longer time you spent the more that you will lose. That is why gambling is just only for fun.

I wouldn't make a comparison between a slot game and a poker video game. While implementing strategies is the most challenging aspect of any game, I believe you have a greater chance in porker videos than in slots games, where your outcomes is determined by the house that are constantly determined by what is displayed on your screen.
According to reviews and experienced users, poker games have a 0.9 to 1 winning chance, whereas slot games have a 0.5 win and 0.5 loss, which is why the jackpots associated with slot games are very large with a low winning rate, whereas poker games are only a few x away from your wager. The riskier the game, the greater the reward.

I agree that the riskier the game, the greater the reward. If someone can not afford the risk, they do not have to take it and use bigger money instead of using little money. No matter what gambling game you play, you should think about the risk of losing money. But I guess it is not easy to compare slot games and poker video games because every gambler will have their own favorite gambling games. I am not sure about the probability of winning on both games but I only know about the risk for both games. So make sure you are ready for the risk before you choose the game.

Or you can hold all the spades and hope to win a regular Flush
Or you can hold 4,5,7,8 and hope to get a 6 Cheesy

See, at least there are four scenarios: straight flush, flush, straight, and two pairs.
You can win or lose depend on your decision, it means you can make poor decisions -> guilt, as if you lose because of you, not the system/luck.

Not on your decision, but on luck only. In pvp poker you can study a particular player's way of playing, and then scare them with a large bet, and win the pot, while having nothing good, or you can apply other tactics to affect the outcome. In video poker you can't do that. The house you are playing against, isn't analyzing the way you play. It's not like you are playing against an AI, rather it's like with slots where, contrary to the beliefs of some gamblers, your game isn't analyzed either.

Quote from: mu_enrico on September 29, 2021, 06:19:30 AM

Ordinary slots don't have this expand payline, gamble feature, lock reels, etc. The only guilt was why didn't I increase/decrease the bet.

Exactly. But it's like after seeing the winning numbers in lottery to regret about not picking them.
