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.

Both games can make you addicted for the long term and it will be hard for you to stop playing those games. Video poker is more technical than slot games because if you want to win on video poker, you need to have the skills to beat the opponent. But in the slot game, you do not need to have skills because the slot game is based on your luck. I do not have much experience with both games, but I think both games can give you pleasure, especially if you have the skills to play poker.
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).
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.

Obviously the answer must be poker, for a gamble that relies on the skill of thinking and some technical calculation methods. however for Slot it is the opposite of what is meant by poker games i.e. Slot only rely on 99% of luck and the rest as predictions only if you make several random spins with a certain number of automatic spins. but even that doesn't really have any effect on being a winner in a slot just your luck.
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.

RNG2 between slot and video poker which is more technical and requires skills to play?
Video poker requires skill when you decide to hold x cards and draw y cards. The mechanism is there in skill-based slots as well. But in general, common slots vs video poker, the last require more serious thinking.3 what are your personal experiences with both games?
I like both, I consider video poker is my 2nd favorite game. But the fact that no innovation in video poker (it's still a card game), means slot is still superior with different grid setup and game progression.

Video poker does need skills. I do not really think that it can be done as it is..
Video poker needs a bit of skills even you are playing with system-generated cards. You won't just hit that deal button without thinking.
There are also hold and discard here and not that you will just randomly pick. It's a risky session and a waste of money if you will just play there without skills involved while at the same time, knowledge of the game.

2. It all falls down to video poker to be honest, slot games are totally a game of luck whereas video poker needs skill on what to hold or not.
3. To be honest, I'm totally a newbie on video poker but from my research it really has difference compared to slots. Slot machine seems random on payback while video poker seems to have a fixed payback once you win.

1. The basic mechanism on both games is different. I cant find any similarities between these two games.
2. Video poker is more technical obviously, as you need to deal with your knowledge and skill in choosing cards.
3. Slot games gives me better experience than videopoker because I love slot more than other games.
Gameplay wise? I'd say video poker, compared to slot, in video poker you still need to learn what card combinations are and what card to keep or discard. I probably haven't played enough slot games so I might be wrong. But I am basing my opinion on my experience.
Video poker does need skills. I do not really think that it can be done as it is..when we are talking about the slot games then we have to understand that they are based on sheer luck. There are people who might know nothing but just how to push the buttons and they would be able to ace in the slot game if their luck is good.
I do think that we have to understand that video poker needs not only luck, hardwork , skills, attention but it's way more complicated. Therefore for me personally I would rather go for the slot games since I am not so good at poker. You can always find tutorials online and improve on your skills for sure.

No need to compare them as in the end, your own preference will win. Just choose what game you are comfortable with and will be able to handle. The word technical varies per user because it all depends on our knowledge about the game. I found video poker more technical to me because of the simple reason that I don't play with it yet and have never been in touch but I know how to play the usual poker game.
I prefer slots as I love the experience of winning thru big multipliers and free spins.

the only difference for me from Slot machines and Video Poker is the name and the design to bet and play but what they are both the same? that is you need no great ability to win because this is a luck base gambling and the game is designed to make the operator rich and make the gambler losses.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.

have you ever seen a truly skilled gambler that wins 100% in both games?
yeah we can at least read or estimate the outcome of each game but in the end it is the design of the game that will lead us losing.

1. If you are leaning in skill-based games poker is the right choice I have played and still playing slot but I cannot think of a skill that I can use to win
2. There's no technicality in a slot game you just hit the button and cross your finger that you hit the jackpot, on Poker you just laid the right card that you think will win against your opponent.
3. I played slot a lot but not poker video I like my chances on slot even if it is a luck-based game

2. Video poker is more technical than a slot game because slot game does not require skills to play and you can only push the roll button. While in a poker game, you need to know how to play and manage the card.
3. I do not have much experience in poker because that will be too difficult for me to play. But slot game is one gambling game I played in the past, although my loss experience will be bigger than my win experience.
I prefer to play slot games to poker because of the ease of playing and not learning more details to play. But some people who have skills in poker will prefer to play poker.
Aside from both games being offered by some casinos, they have a table of fixed payout where every winning combination have a certain multiplier.
When it comes to skills, video poker have a higher skill requirement because on slots you're limited to bankroll management while in video poker you can choose which cards to hold.
I barely have any experience in video poker but i've tried it a few times. On slots it's the complete opposite i've played different types of slots from different casinos and providers.

Almost everyone is in agreement for questions 1 and 2 that's why I'll just focus on this one.While I only played traditional poker, I'm pretty sure the mechanics are the same except who you're playing with. I was recently playing slots on Fortune Jack and it's quite fun. Compared to poker, you don't need much strategy other than managing your money well and changing bets per spin.
You are comparing two gambling games which are not really that similar. Slot is a luck-based game which does not require skills. You are there to simply roll and wait for luck to come. There is hardly a strategy you can use with slot games. Poker on the other hand is not entirely luck-based because there are strategies you need to learn in order to somehow make your weak hand work in your favor despite going against much stronger hands.
They're literally both at different ends of the spectrum so I don't know what can be their similarities because they're only similarities is probably the fact that they have some odds with the both of them.
