For the most part, video poker is a game of luck, not skill. This means that wins are randomly awarded to players because of the random number generator. Sure, you need to know the basics like how a flush beats a straight and you may have mastered the art of bluffing. But remember this is video poker, not actual poker, so your bluffing skills aren't going to work here. Once cards have been randomly distributed among players, you'll need luck on your side to actually win.
