As many times as it takes for them to post the truth on their website.

That's not what they say on their website. They say they have slots PLUS card games.
They do not say that their card games are based on a slot mechanism. They do say that the jackpot is based on a slot mechanism, and I can accept this as a valid business decision, as you can't offer $100k jackpots without this.
But this is very different from the whole game being based on a slot mechanism (i.e. not reflecting the actual odds of a given card being dealt). In particular, the $5 game appears to offer 99.54% payout. If this is not the case they are wilfully deceiving their players.

Slotland is for slots only. You can play all kinds of odd slots with interesting features, including an odd BJ like slot and a videopoker like slot.
Slotland is one of the very few gaming sites that operate on HTML, which is the only type software many browsers can use. It looks slow and heavy handed to most of us, it is a life saver to many others.
But Slotland is for slots, period.

Ok.
So why do they repeatedly talk about slots AND video poker, rather than talking about a jacks or better SLOT?
There are two possible scenarios here:
one, they do indeed offer fair video poker games, except when you play the $10 games, when the royal flush payout does not truly reflect the odds. This would be acceptable and accords with what they describe on their site.
or
two, as you say, their video poker games are in fact slots, and all hands do not pay according to true probability. If this is the case they are wilfully deceiving players, as they simply do not state this on their website, as you suggest that games are based on a 'slot mechanism', and I can't see how in good conscience you can endorse them.
