Slot vs Video Poker

[Prestongold]

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.

It is a curious question. I would argue that there is zero skill in slot games, as they are intended to give back a percent of the revenue so even a skilled player will just get that share in the long term. Perhaps there is some skill involved in guessing when the bag is full. 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.

Slot vs dice should be the better choice, not video poker, if you have tried playing video poker without a guide as a newbie in gambling you do not get anywhere with it as it needs skills to play the game all thou just minimal skills but slot and dice are purely based on luck as you just guess and roll dice but that is not achievable with poker game as it requires an intense calculation to win against the house edge.

For me it's almost the same, you are still betting against the "machine", so most likely the chance for you to beat it are very slow. But if you are for the excitement so I guess both of them are.

Personal experience? I prefer slots though, yes I know the odds are very low, but it gives me some rush hitting a bonus or a jackpot. And as long as you follow the rule: "gamble the money that you can afford to lose" Much rather play poker P2P.

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

They are both a form of gambling and a popular form of gambling

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

Video poker requires skills at some level, the slot is totally a chance-based game there is no skill required whatsoever, your skill here is to manage yourself when losing

3 what are your personal experiences with both games?

I have not tried video poker but I do play slot from time to time I prefer playing dice and crash game though, slots do have a lot of followers and majority of online gambling sites has it.

1. Luck-based since you are still dealing against the house. However in video poker, you can play with odds.

2. Video poker needs skills but again like I said in no.1, you are still against the house. Slots on the other hand is pure 100% luck.

3. So far, playing slots is addicted for me. That jackpot really lures me on this game.

In general, both slots and video poker are probability games but you can do some various strategies on the latter, just as the usual poker, for the random cards that you will receive per session.

In terms of gameplay, being how technical it depends on how you understand the game. In an obvious way, if you are having a hard time learning one of them, then that's more technical to you.

Never did a video poker attempt throughout my gambling whether online or in physical casinos. But in slots, I have lots of experience already and I can consider myself a slot and roulette game enthusiast. Already made a good profit out from playing slots.

You can actually get some positive EV out of Video Poker if you play the right strategy over the long run. So certainly there are strategies when it comes to Video Poker that allows you to get the best outcome.

However, slots is completely luck based.

Depends on what you want out of the experience, really. You can get a great time playing slots, or get a better player return with video poker but be a bit stressed out about remembering basic strategy.

They operate quite similarly in terms of the machine used, and both pretty much give random card results when played into. The difference is, players are given a chance to do something else in Video poker, while slots are pretty much a death sentence each and every play, meaning you can't change it. This makes the mechanics of both games quite different. I haven't really tried Video poker but I have tried slots. It's nothing new, it's fun to play but it isn't something that you'd generally praise as something "very" good or whatnot. It's slots, and that's basically the perfect judgement for it.

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.

[Fundamentals Of]

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.

3 what are your personal experiences with both games?

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.

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.

1. The similarities between slot games and video poker are both games are gambling games with money involved.
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.

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

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.
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.

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.

[fiulpro]

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.

[acroman08]

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.

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.
