Video poker is entertainment with a cost. Even full-pay games played perfectly can lose for long stretches.
Keep it fun
- Decide your budget before you go, and never chase losses
- Set time limits and take breaks
- Never gamble with money you need for bills, or borrow to play
- Don't gamble to escape stress or to win back money
