Video Poker Daddy's Guide to Video Poker

Video poker is tied with blackjack as the 2nd most popular online casino game in America. (Slot machines are in 1st place.) Video poker games first became popular in the 1970's and have continued to rise in popularity since then. Some locals' casinos in gambling destinations now feature more video poker machines than slot machines.

The reasons for video poker's popularity are obvious. It combines the solitude and privacy of a slot machine game with the strategy and potential jackpot of a table game. As games of skill go, it's easy to play, and if you're a skilled player, you can find positive expectation situations. (i.e. games where you have an actual advantage over the house.)
