This is somewhat more of a challenge than slots because you have some control (or at least the illusion of control) over your fate, and it’s easier than playing actual poker with a table full of serious poker players. And, it is hoped, you collect your winnings. You are dealt a hand, you pick which cards to keep and which to discard, and then you get your new hand. Video poker works the same way as regular poker, except you play against the machine.
