Having lived in Las Vegas for a number of years and played thousands of hands of video poker I can assure you that you can win. The machine is not fixed, the gaming control people would come down hard on any casino that did cheat.

The video poker games come with instructions on how to play each hand. Most of them will tell you when you play a hand wrong and show you how to play it right.
