Or is there a strategy to playing. Like do 5 hands a day or something till you hit big? I have tried playing video poker but I find myself bored to death. Would love to hit a royal or something.

If you use auto hold it does feel like a slot, sort of.
Do you VP players use auto hold or prefer not to?
Thanks
) however using autohold is a matter of personal pref but a good idea unless you are confident about your strategy knowledge. Multi hand is more interesting than single hand.
I particularly like the 3Dice software for single hand VP, where you click the cards and not a little hold button.
4 of a kind, you have no proof of that (other than slotland).
I highly doubt the major software providers use slot machines behind the graphics of BJ/VP.
I have to disagree with you here. What is it you need that would convince you?
Solid data instead of rants.I have to disagree with you here. What is it you need that would convince you?

Solid data instead of rants.
Why don't you just collect some data? That would be much more useful than ranting.
You don't need to get data from the operators.
Any data ever presented by a player would and has been in the past riddled with debate holes and ruled inconclusive. Even if you were to agree with any data being presented, what and where will that get anyone. What would be the next step?
Find the thread by "thelawnet" about English Harbour cheating on VP doubling.
He collected a sample and proved that the game was rigged.
Then lots of other people collected data and it reflected the same truth, that the game was rigged.
A massive fuss was kicked up, read the thread. If you post some data showing BJ is rigged (very easy to do!) it will not be ignored.
I recorded my at MG for several years. My results, the proportion of win/loss/draw in blackjack, the distribution of final hands in VP are well within the expected range and I am ahead at both blackjack and VP. My experience just does not support your claims.You would think that long time experienced veterans like GrandMaster above by now have seen and heard it all.
Players have exhausted every avenue available to them trying to find out what should be the most basic and available information about online Video Poker and Black Jack. These endless requests have fallen on deaf ears. It would appear and one could only conclude that based on the silence from requests, that online casinos prefer us not to know the facts about these games denying us the opportunity to apply the correct strategy. This uncertainty and lack of what should be common knowledge for all, only benefits and enhances the casinos bottom line.
Instead of long time veterans like GrandMaster, advocates, and affiliates, combining efforts in any attempts to help the players; they prefer to deny the obvious, attempting to discredit all efforts and experiences by players accusing them of ranting. What GrandMaster says above is the perfect example and common practices being used to help the casinos remain silent and continue having their way with us.
Based on what I highlighted above in your last response, I could only assume that either your not reading my posts, or insist on trying to ignore what should be a common obtainable knowledge answer to my question and trying to turn my simple request into a rigged rant, or never played Video Poker or BJ therefore you don't have any idea what I'm talking about, or sadly it has become obvious your comprehension skills are not up to par in which case I feel I owe you an apology.
You're saing that card distributions are not based on a random 52-card deck. You're saying that the output you see is based on an underlying slot machine and does not reflect true probabilities.
That is the same as saying that the game = rigged.
I've played many hundreds of thousands of hands of blackjack and VP online and my results are well within expectation.

5. To manipulate dishonestly for personal gain: rig a prizefight; rig stock prices.
So you're saying that online blackjack is actually a slot machine, but it still returns 99.5% - the same as truly random dealt blackjack?
But perhaps the strategy is different to reach the same RTP?
If this is what you mean, there is overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
If you mean that RTP is fiddled by reducing the RTP of the underlying slot machine, then

Ecogra requires that representations of physical devices such as cards or dice have the same probabilities as the physical devices, so if you play at an ecogra approved casino, you will get a fair game or Andrew Beveridge will refund your money.Online casinos refusing with relentless vigilance to come forward with this vital and what should be free and willing information, only leaves the players with their own conclusions.
Not all players are like GrandMaster or Kasino King who might know when their stars are aligned, or if they need to wear a necklaces with a horse shoe hanging from it to constantly win. When it comes to Video Poker and Black Jack, some of us just know how to play against the statistics and probabilities.

Yes. Look at the eGAP requirements.Do you have a cite for this?
Or you could just reply to my post...

What style of software platform is being used for online Video Poker and Black Jack? Random 52 card draw with expected probabilities, or pre-determined house edge advantage. (slots)
what would Mr. Beveridge consider irrefutable evidence that would warrant a refund to a player?
