Having said that, I wouldn't mind a new look either.

(Ok, the Atari 2600 has worse graphics... but only barely.)

Perhaps the MG graphics for their single-line VP are greater than the Atari 5200 (released in 1982)...

... we'll say then that they're probably still better than the "Atari 2600 Jr.", released (again with the "junior" name) in 1986.

But, maybe, just maybe, they're on par with the "Atari 7800", released in 1986.

I'll say this, the RTG video poker (single-hand) is definitely sharp, and looks like most "VLT" machines. Whereas the MG video poker is more BIG (as you said), but not necessarily better in detail (like DUPLO LEGO compared to the LEGO TECHNIC). I just think (for myself) that after playing more than an hour or so of the RTG version of VP, my eyes feel completely shot.

RTG SH VP = "TECHNIC"

MG VP = "DUPLO"

All jokes aside, I appreciate the feedback "42ndSSD".
