There are also some video poker machines that are beatable if you use the right strategy. (And the right strategy is usually rather counter-intuitive, as it often involves throwing away every card that can't be part of a royal flush from an otherwise promising hand, because about half your total expected payout comes from the royal flush jackpot.)
Really? What is your expected payoff? Or perhaps, what is your expected earnings per hour?
Here are some figures from http://www.gamemasteronline.com/Archive/VideoPoker/AllAmericanVideoPokerDiary-1.shtml
My understanding is that sometimes you can do better, like when a casino has special offers or promotions. You can also do something like this at online casinos, BTW, although I haven't personally tried it.
