How Video Poker Really Works: Paytables, Expected Value, and Why Strategy Is Often Misunderstood
Video poker feels transparent. The cards are visible, the choices are clear, and results appear immediately. Compared to other casino games, it seems easy to understand.
That impression is misleading.
How Video Poker Really Works explains video poker as a probabilistic system rather than a strategic one. Instead of offering tips, systems, or advice, this book breaks the game down into its actual structure—showing how independence, paytables, expected value, and variance interact to produce results that feel meaningful even when they are not.
The book examines why nothing ever carries forward, why paytables quietly determine long-term behavior before play begins, why expected value describes direction without predicting outcomes, and why short-term experience feels convincing while consistently misleading. It also explains why common video poker myths persist—not because players are careless, but because the game reliably creates experiences that invite false interpretation.
This is not a guide on how to play video poker. It does not promise better results or improved outcomes. It is an explanation of how the game functions mechanically, and why understanding that structure changes how results are interpreted.
By the end, video poker does not become predictable.
It becomes intelligible.
