Video Poker
Video Poker was originally introduced to the gaming public during the
1970's when Las Vegas knowledgeable monetary difficulties because of
the oil embargo. As word spread about this new game, players came to
the casinos to give them a try. The casinos rapidly mounted more and
more machines and before you knew it Las Vegas was back on the road
to recovery.
Video Poker is so popular because it unites aspects of both luck and
skill. There is no hidden house advantage and no secretly tight machines
to deal with as with slot machines. Every draw begins with a fresh deck
of shuffled cards. Certain video poker machines actually have a positive
financial expectation if played perfectly for long enough.
