Modern-day gambling has increased the quest to gain more skills in playing the various gambling games, while some games require skills to play them, others are relatively simple to play and require little or no skills in playing them.
As the topic specifies slot and video poker are the most friendly and simple games to play for me but the two have some disparity which I will love us to discuss on this thread.
1 what are the similarities between slot games and video pokers?
2 between slot and video poker which is more technical and requires skills to play?
3 what are your personal experiences with both games?

The similarities between these two games are that you have absolutely no control over the outcome. Every play is statistically and mathematically designed to extract money from players for the benefit of the house. They will let you win 2 games and then you will lose 3. They know that repeated players of this type of game will keep on feeding money back into the system because they get a rush from the wins and they conveniently forget all the losses. Any "technical" aspect to these games is purely an illusion, adding extra features into the game lets the player feel like they have a degree of influence over the outcome and disrupts the play enough that they keep trying to unlock things like mini/side games.
