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.
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.
there is no similarities aside from both are enjoyable but both hard to win 
YET i love video poker over slot games, they are boring lol.

However, poker is a highly skilled game of statistics and probabilities and it takes a life to master even for the pros. Poker on line is not that different in that sense, so my answer would be poker.
And even if you master it still you cannot have guarantee of always winning as you can't always judge the next move of the person sitting on the table and what cards he is having and it involves classification of personal play as well as deceiving the others like bluff and how you can manage it.Poker skills are on the next level and slots are basically luck based like you place bet and hit the bet button and if lucky you win otherwise not so not much planning and strategic movements are involved which is the case with poker players.
And for experience, there's nothing really special playing slots and I haven't played it for a long time.
Your views will changed once you hit a good amount of winnings playing slots.
Not able yet to hit jackpot but already win good amounts in my slots experience. That special feeling lures me more that's why up to date, I'm still playing slots. Not that addicted but it's always part of my gambling alongside sports betting.If OP were able to hit a good winning whether thru slots or poker, I think OP will focus more there.
I've never played video poker but if you're going to compare and ask for its similarity with slots, I think it's slots should be better compared with dice and other luck based games. And for experience, there's nothing really special playing slots and I haven't played it for a long time. And as explained with others, if you're into the game that requires skill, then video poker is your go-to instead of slots. But if you want to just play and try out your luck then slots.
Totally agree, I think that poker and slots are entirely different and poker is mostly skill based compared to slots where you just pull it and wait for it to hit just right.

I played video poker for a long time and at that moment the mechanics of the game were as follows: you made a bet, received cards, and after the exchange of cards (I do not remember whether it was or not in fact), if there was a combination, you could risk and double your winnings (with a chance less than 50% obviously) several times in a row. Without this series of doublings, there was no point in taking the winnings - it was scanty. In fact, these were no different from any slot games, maybe modern video poker has changed, I don't know.

3. Video poker was bit more fun to play than playing slots. Slots become boring the longer you play. At least in video poker you need to interact with the game and guess what's going to happen next.
This is depending on the player. I also find video poker a lot more fun than slots. I also think slots are boring. But to many people both games are fun and have some unique features. There are so many slots fans out there who find it really fun to try to hit that high multiplier and that huge jackpot. There must be something in slot games that makes people so interested and the game itself one of the most popular casino games. But I personally find poker more stimulating.
Once they feel the game becomes boring, they will try to search for the other games.
Besides that, each game will try to give enjoyment to people who played, but yes, it depends on how people can enjoy the game and their time.
I found myself gets enjoy playing slots but not for a long time because that can make do not want to do other things.

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. The main similarity between them is both depends completely on luck.
2. Video poker requires a little more understanding than playing slots. You need to know some rules before you play, but when it comes to slots, you just have to spin and hope you win.

If money management is a skill then slots still has some judgement in play, I used to vary my stake played and consider myself more likely to win at some times then others so not completely random exactly. Most of the games stack some kind of sequence that can lead to bigger wins so judging when to place a higher bet could be considered part of it. But certainly Poker is the far more involved game and slots is for when you just want to do something fairly simple and/or are distracted while playing listening to music or whatever.

Both are the same including the type of gambling and also risking. The difference between slots and poker is that slots don't need to have any strategy and rely on luck on the side. As for poker itself, obviously having some kind of knowledge of the application of playing strategies and also requires deeper knowledge or as I would say is a required skill. Personal experience definitely makes me feel more challenged when playing poker, even though I'm not very good at it.

The best way to think of these games is rather simple - they are just graphics, sounds and other psychological tricks that are designed to make you repeatedly spend more money. Gambling companies are pure money making machines - they have minimum overheads (especially online games) and have customers willing to pour large amounts of money into them. These games are designed to keep tantalizing players, you might deposit $100, play a $5 per spin game all the way down to your last $5 and hit a jackpot which will give you $110 - now you think wow after all those losses it is actually possible to make money. You do the same thing but this time crash out to zero, because they have conditioned you to this repetitive behavior you might barely give it a second thought when depositing the next $100. Unless you can use skill to play these games, you are just paying for entertainment in the form of flashy images and enticing noises.

I played video poker for a long time and at that moment the mechanics of the game were as follows: you made a bet, received cards, and after the exchange of cards (I do not remember whether it was or not in fact), if there was a combination, you could risk and double your winnings (with a chance less than 50% obviously) several times in a row.

There's no modern video poker, all of them are the same, and they are working as you explained... you get 5 cards, you decide which ones to keep, another deal and that's it... from one pair to royal flesh, each of them worth something... and you can decide to gamble and play lower/higher, 7 is neutral and if you get 7 you have another try! Video poker was popular when I was a kid +20 years ago! This game is the same, but there are (at least for me) new poker games like Caribbean poker, Russian poker, with different rules... and some of them are pretty interesting for me! In my opinion, there are no slots vs video poker! Slots have a better graphic, bonus rounds that can be very crazy...

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

Slot games and poker have one similarity- is that they fall on the same category as 'gambling'. Both also involve luck in playing but the latter requires some sort of skill in order to reduce the risks associated with the game. In addition, there are lots of factors that have to be considered that may turn the tide of the game in your favor in poker.
Personally, slot games are my 'go-to' game as it does not require some thinking. You just pull down the lever and let luck decide your fate. Unlike in poker where it is very tedious, I value my time a lot and when I see that my budget is depleted (or if I achieved my goal), I'd leave quickly.
I've never played video poker but if you're going to compare and ask for its similarity with slots, I think it's slots should be better compared with dice and other luck based games.

Both kinds of gambling games are somewhat still luck based, but so different to each other at the same time. Most would say poker is more technical and requires more skill to play, but no doubt it's so far compared to when you're playing with actual players rather than a machine. Slot is more towards having to play gambling without any pressure since you're only hitting spin and leaning towards the chance of winning. I notice slots are becoming more famous because of the impressive graphics gambling sites are able to create. Video poker not so much, in my case, I'd rather play poker with real people than video poker.
