Well, as already mentioned above, there are two main differences between video poker games and real poker games. The first is that in real poker, it is the aim of the player to beat the dealer, whereas in video poker, it is the aim of the player to create a winning hand (it is sort of just a glorified version of slots). The second major difference is that players play the game by themselves on an electronic device, whereas real poker features other players, playing with real or virtual cards.
