Video poker is a very popular casino game, as it combines the potential for a huge payout that slots offers, but also very good odds for the players, if they play the correct strategy and pick the very best games to play. The odds can be so good, in fact, that in perfect conditions the player can actually be playing with a small advantage over the house, something that's nearly unheard of in casino games.

Video poker first appeared in casinos in the mid 1970s, but really began to catch on in popularity in the 1980s as the games became more sophisticated and casinos realized they were popular with players, as the machines were less intimidating for the casual gambler who was a bit scared of playing regular table games.
