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?

First of all, video poker requires skill, slots do not.

You can maximise your chances of winning in video poker by following a strict strategy but this is not possible when it comes to slots as the outcomes are completely random.

I actually think that video poker is way too slow for my liking and I'd rather get some variance and major wins with slots. And most people tend to agree with this I feel.

If those video poker players have skills, they can try to maximize their chances of winning, but still, both games need luck so they can not have a big expectation to win in a video poker game as they can meet the other player have high skills in poker. If a gambler does not have skills and only depends on his luck, then slots could be the best choice to gamble. I guess each game will have its fan and we do not know how many of those like both games.

I don't see any similarities between the two. They're on a really different spectrum of gambling, one is heavily based on luck or probability while the other is a bit of probability and a ton of skill because with poker, you need some convincing actings especially wheen you're bluffing.

this comes in Real Life poker mate but that is far different from Video Poker when it is online game same as slot machine so i think you comparison is far from the conversation .

Agree. Bluffing won't work in video poker, obviously. The video poker game will just show you a set of cards from the computer dealer then decide who you want to hold or discard. We don't know the cards of others so that's where the RNG algorithm takes place that's why it's called luck + skills.

We can't do the typical skills here that are only applicable to physical gambling. Others should read the first page that we are not talking about the usual poker here playing at a poker table with a dealer on the center and players around.

Because gambling is governed by any form of opportunity there is no guarantee of any quest for success inside the casino. There are many things you can do to improve your own chances of winning on slot machines the first thing to remember is that each slot machine has its own list and rules the biggest mistake made by slot players is not having to play the maximum number of coins. If you do not play the maximum number of coins you will not win the maximum jackpot.

So what is the take for Video Poker? because the topic runs about VS. Meaning the comparison of these 2? any word for Video poker?

Slot machine is the oldest machine made gambling and the other one is just recently so yeah slot has tons of players comparing to slot.

Regarding the game phase, yes it's more quick to slots. Even slots are considered as luck-based games, we can win most playing at these compare spending hours in video poker or any related games. Luck is just around the corner. We might attract it during early spins or for much longer spins.

Comparing both slots and video poker, it's really much excited to see those spinning wheels especially when a decent multiplier win will flash on the screen.

In my opinion, there are no similarities, each of these games has its own advantages in betting, sometimes this depends on each gambler, of course those who are more familiar with them will take precedence.
Regarding skill... I think poker is more dominant with additional skills and uses our brain to think more than slots.
But to myself... I prefer to slot games, because I'm more familiar with slots, and it's simpler, just pressing on without thinking more like in poker.

Poker is largely luck based anyhow but the human element allows you to win with nothing at all, if Video poker were to miss out that element of the game its unfortunate because its alot closer to slots again anyhow. The one advantage slots can tout in its favor is that the money is contained in the machine from previous winnings and there is a payout ratio due, however I think the ratio is not per slot but the entire casino game or even people say the game ratio might be shared for a whole operator. That makes its very hard to know when the slot 'owes' you cash and the payout is more likely. Somehow I have done well with slots in the past on occasion and I just stuck to whatever worked and didn't do high stakes, I cant say I know it was me or just persistence and eventually I got enough I was in profit so quite happy.

Slot games and Video poker difference is that slot games is based on luck while video poker requires skills. Slot games is like dice, you'll only press roll to process 1 round and know the result instantly, but of course both games have the same risk, because we're talking about gambling. Slot games is more fun if you like a fast phase game in gambling while earning money (if you're lucky).

Well, video poker does not require skill all that is needed is luck because you don’t need any skill to place a card in your hand, just like dice and slots games this game just requires luck and gambling in it entirely is risk base and luck unless for some games that require skills bit most games are base on lucks.

You say that you do not skills to play video poker, so I wonder how did you play it especially at the time you need to choose the cards before pressing the deal button? Did you choose the card(s) to hold without thinking about the chance of the possible outcome? If you play like this, I guess you play all other games like poker or even sports betting without any skills.

Edit:

Wait: so which one is your own opinion about video poker? Few days ago you said that skills is required in video poker but now you say the opposite.

Quote from: Tessnik on September 13, 2021, 11:03:28 AM

I guess that is where skill is required in playing video poker games, as you will need to make the right card calculation, otherwise; you lose the bet; the slot is more or less doesn’t require any of such. All you need to do is roll the dice and wait for the outcome.

BURN !!!!

Do you care to share more details of your experience because in my experience, not all slot games a played with a machine but the same can not be said about video porker as it entirely bases on a machine which is why some refer to it as a skilled base game.

~ I think the similarities that they have are the RNGs that they generate because they are the same that comes from a computer algorithm. I don't know regarding the provable fair but I think they have. No, they do not require technical or required skills, though you have knowledge on it and then you are fine because these games are based on luck that you are against to the house edge. However, the chances of winning depend on the percentage of odds and that’s only about changing the odds, but not picking specific possible winners and losers.
I had experienced both but I really like a poker games, though it is based on luck there is a chance that you can improve the chances of winning.

If a game, video poker in this case, is purely based on luck, there is absolutely no chance of improving your chances of winning. Zero. If you disagree, please read my post above, and provide your counter-argument.

I feel like apart from many threads in the Gambling discussion section, where people are just repeating things known to all, this one can result in a fruitful discussion.

Regarding the first question, I do not see much difference unless it is the animation, but I think the greatest of all the similarities is that they obey an algorithm system governed by Provably Fair, where most of the time you have the same chances of winning. or lose.

For the second question, it is obvious that one focuses more on having more technique for video poker, at least I use what I have learned over the years, especially when I played at pokerstars.net, in the slots my only The strategy is always to have fun and not be aware of winning, because I use them to de-stress myself.

My personal experience with both games is that in Video Poker I usually play very little, I think that the chances of winning decrease a lot, but its animation is excellent and that attracts me, with the slots I use them with very little balance, I destine it to lose, Because I pay and use slots to de-stress and have fun, I really prefer PVP poker games in online tournaments.

This proves out that there are users which do really make out comments or post which is totally out of the topic and just simply understanding the topic title without having an
actual experience about the game which make them look dumb.

1 what are the similarities between slot games and video pokers?

I love slot games it's a game of chance that works so much like a dice game it's exciting there's no skill involved but when you hit the button
and exert all your so-called mind power to hit the jackpot you feel an adrenaline rush.

Quote

2 between slot and video poker which is more technical and requires skills to play?

Video Poker is more technical I have not played it yet but I discard card games it's not my thing because there's a lot of strategies involved and
I'm not good at guessing card games

3 what are your personal experiences with both games?

YET i love video poker over slot games, they are boring lol.

If you're good with poker, it's easy to win since it's against other players, on the other hand though, even if you've played long enough with slots, you're still at the mercy of the odds and the machine, no matter how good you are with pulling those levers, you're up against the house and the house always wins.

This topic is comparing between video poker and slot, both are games where you play against the house.
Poker which is against other players is not video poker, so you get it wrong.
Even if you are playing against other players, it does not mean that it will be easy to win.

I think most of us would prefer a game like poker that gives us a better sense that we're in control of our fate. When it comes to slots you are pretty much just shoveling coins into a hole, which I could find better places than the inside of a casino to do such a thing. Nowadays though, even the slots have little games and animations going on to where you feel like you're more involved. I can only imagine what the future will hold. Soon it may be like taking a roller coaster ride in VR every time you pull the lever.

In fact, it is good that there is a whole range of games and we can choose the one where the degree of involvement will be both high and minimal (like in slots). I don’t like slots, but sometimes after a hard day when my head no longer understands, I simply don’t have the strength for something more complicated than slots.

To be honest I'm quite surprised how many people in this thread are saying that video poker requires skill to play. If by "skill" you mean holding the cards that are likely to win you the game, say, holding two pair when it's there already, that's not much of a skill, my friends, I can assure you.

On some gambling sites you have an opportunity to use the so called "Smart hold" switch, which seemingly does the job for you, like here, for example:

Do you really think they would be helping you to beat them? Grin
