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.

1. There are no similarities between poker and slots. Except one: it's both gambling games.
All other things are different: one it's pure luck based game and the second one is skill based (with some influence of luck, but not on the long distance). One is solo game and the other is require more than one player to play.

1.  You have to learn and improve your skills all the time and take advantage of your opponent's weaknesses in poker but when you want to fight the slot machines then you just have to press the lever and wait for your luck.

Again, you are the other users who can differentiate between poker and videopoker. You cant take any advantage of your opponent's weaknesses in video poker as your opponent is the house. What you can do in video poker is to increase your winning chance by choosing the best cards to hold. Video poker is a solo game, it does not require more than 1 player to play as it is a game where you play against the house.
But I suppose that even if you play perfectly video poker still has a negative EV right? If you play traditional poker then your EV can be negative as well, as it is the case for the majority of the players, but if you have enough skill and you find the right table then your EV can turn positive, also one of the great things about poker is the camaraderie and the conversations that you can have at the table, something that video poker obviously cannot emulate.

Video porker is base on you against the House and if you find yourself in that situation then you will have to base your luck on the level of the probably fair system of the house you are up against. But slot as a game of numbers can easily be won with luck on your side.
^ I had to say video poker has a chance that you can increase your chances of winning even though they are the same in a slot that you will against the house edge. But on a slot game, it is pure luck that you can never know what will be the result and there is nothing you can do is to wait when it will generate a number for the provably fair. But for me, it does not matter if it is video poker or slot game, as long as I am well entertained, then I should go either two of them.

I wont believe that you could easily win on slots but of course both things do really require luck for you to win big and knowing that you are against with the house then as a player then you would
always have the disadvantage thats why dont expect that you could really take out advantage whatever kind of analysis and strategies you do have in mind.Play for entertainment and dont
focus much on making money.Both games are in different system but really the same on how luck works and significant on these type of games.
The chances of winning in these 2 will just be based on how lucky we ca be tha day. While it is better to have knowledge and experience on how this slot and video poker works sometimes it will not help to have a skils to win these games , i usually believe that winning in these games requires a cycle or certain perio to when will the time to win will be based on house program and your lucky if your the one playing when that tom hits.

The similarities between these two games are that you have no control over the outcome. Every play is statistically and mathematically designed to extract money from players for the benefit of the house. They will let you win 2 games and then you will lose 3. They know that repeated players of this type of game will keep on feeding money back into the system because they get a rush from the wins and they conveniently forget all the losses. Any "technical" aspect to these games is purely an illusion, adding extra features into the game lets the player feel like they have a degree of influence over the outcome and disrupts the play enough that they keep trying to unlock things like mini/side games.

Gambling sites have no control over there. It's just that the house was adjusted in favor of the gambling sites. They have nothing to do with winning at early games. It's just coincidental to others. We all know in the long run that we can never beat a house be it on slots or video poker.

Once win good, get out if can and come back the other day. Unless these gamblers want to test the house for long, then just good luck.
So who then is the house is ít not the site owners that are the House the machine are just the instrument they can set it to whatever way they want, what we should be looking out for is how fair is the house because most of them promise to have a probably fair system meanwhile slot games outcome are in favor of the house leaving the player with lose.

What you can do in video poker is to increase your winning chance by choosing the best cards to hold. Video poker is a solo game, it does not require more than 1 player to play as it is a game where you play against the house.
But the topic here is not the poker you are referring to. It's video poker and to give you a view of what is it, look here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_poker

The usual poker games are against the real players. On this video poker, you are against the house and everything is automated. I just don't know how's the house edge or something like RTP here compares to other luck-based games.
Sorry, I have to admit it was something wrong on my part as I am not familiar with video poker. Thank you for explaining it.

So if that's the case then I'm just assuming that there is no difference at all between the two games as players rely solely on luck when against the house or the system. It will end the same as a game based on luck because the system will set the pattern of the game. So again, sorry for all my misunderstanding above.

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?

Exactly.

Just like what you said, it's pretty hard to increase your winning chance because you are playing against the house, your winning percentage would be always low but if you're lucky, you could outsmart them and make profits but not recommended to continue playing for a day and the reason is that you'll lose it all, houses never let anyone win freely. Therefore being indecisive is your weakness, and don't be greedy.

3 what are your personal experiences with both games?
1. Poker and slots are two different games but both are gambling games. You have to work hard or have skill to win something at poker, but you don't need it when you want to get lucky at slots. You have to learn and improve your skills all the time and take advantage of your opponent's weaknesses in poker but when you want to fight the slot machines then you just have to press the lever and wait for your luck. The similarity is still in the gambling game, it can be played online or in a physical casino depending on where you want to play it.

2. Obviously it's poker. You definitely know that even if you are not a gambler.

3. I love slots and play this game quite often compared to games that have to be played with skill like poker. It's fun but also quite boring when you haven't won a jackpot in a long time. I don't have long experience in poker, but playing once in a while is also good enough to hone my playing skills.

Of course you, many people who are involved in video poker and slot games have certainly experienced good and risky things, the discussion in this thread is different from what happens on the field / when betting.

For the OP's question, if it is explained playing gambling between slots & video poker, as I said long experience.

There are some guidelines for you that you need to know.

I have played a good bit between both slot machines and video poker.  Personally I learned poker during the great "texas holdem rush" during the early/mid 2000's and absolutely still love playing real, sit down in person poker, so playing on a machine is not that fun for me.  However playing slots is fun because it often take absolutely zero skill, kind of like scratching a lotto ticket..so I enjoy both at different times.
I also have a thing for poker game because of the use of a machine in playing that makes it require skills to do so, but playing slot is manually done and most time easy to play and win. I lost interest in poker games when I lost all my bet during an in house game in the early days of 2020, which made me give up on poker games.
Playing Texas Holdem is another experience for me as at that time, that game was very popular, so we were always playing almost every day.
Sometimes, we sell the chips between us, but later, the provider blocks the access for players caught by them.
Dice also give an experience and I guess that all gambling games gives difference experience that will not be the same.
But when we lose all our bets during the game, that will not be easy to handle the emotion in any gambling game.

Those both games are good to entertain and give a possible profit but base on my experience I prefer video poker, if you want to depend on your faith into a game I guess slot game is the best because it's all about luck if you want to play depends on your skill base i guess the video poker is the best for you, not all the time they both give a good outcome still your strategy. But of course why not take the risk to the thing you know how to play and make a strategy than the slot game it's all about luck and probability.

However, video poker is kind of hard for novices to understand and can not be said to be user-friendly as its interfaces require some level of technicalities but slot is the first choice for most beginners as one doesn’t need to develop any skills before you can play slot.
I don't think it's that difficult to learn the game, it depends on the gambler preference as long as he/she is willing to learn the basics of a game it should only take a few minutes or so to get used to the rules.

I used to think poker was difficult but after playing a couple of rounds it eventually became a good learning experience. In terms of difficulty i'd say it's close to blackjack since it also relies on decision making.

First, you need to specify the poker game.
Poker is a generic term for several games, some easier than others.
A slot game can also look easy, but depending on the game there are also several variables and combinations involved that can also cause confusion in the gamer's mind. It's complicated to generalize that way.
As for video poker, the subject of the OP, I confess that I played very little. I don't like playing against the house, I prefer PvP.

I think the same, slots like this are not well understood by giving and giving you learn, then it is that they realize als combinations, in terms of video Poker I like it a lot, but the truth is I have never had good luck playing it.
When they are PVP matches it is much better, because in my view, I think that he has many opportunities to win, in this case all the strategies that are known can be applied, where he played most previously was in pokerstars.net, which from there it was always PVP.

godfather and I


What is a catch with video poker is that you can try to increase every winning with gambling lower/higher!
You mean the option to raise bet after the initial draw? I think I saw it somewhere, but long time ago on an old computer. Nowadays, video poker in crypto casino is just like Stake's version AFAIK.

Can you actually win at video poker?
Yes, why anyone would play an unwinnable game?!
It's just like any casino game with % HE, it means on average after millions of draw, you'll likely lose your money.

Yes, but it's not the story from the movie, we just like to play different games and if possible to compete who is better!

I mean the option where you can gamble with your winnings from the hand/spin, where you play lower/higher, before that was the only option, and 7 was neutral... now you can choose the color of the next card or even which suit will be next to one, of course, with higher odds!

I just wanted to point out the difference in what people like, I mentioned my godfather because he is like the opposite of me! He likes that stuff a lot, while I dislike it!

Do people win at video poker! Yes, we called it a "tilt", when some player opens so many cards and the machine just get blocked! At least it was like that +15 years ago when we played video poker in some little room full of smoke with few machines, video pokers and the simplest fruits you ever saw!
