Video Poker - Serial Dealing Or Parallel Dealing?
The majority of video-poker machines in the past had parallel dealing. A parallel machine is one where the cards are dealt with their replacements already selected and in place "behind" the displayed card. Thus, if you received a card that you didn't want and discarded it, the card that replaced it would have been sitting there all along. In a real card game, the replacement card would not have already been dealt. Instead, the replacements are made in the order of discard and off the top of the deck.
The first card discarded would receive the first card off the top of the deck, the second card discarded would receive the second card off the top of the deck and so forth until all discards had been replaced with new cards. Some of the newer machines employ this kind of serial dealing—just as a regular card game would. In either case, if the game is dealt fairly and the microchip isn't programmed to avoid certain hands, the video-poker player can be confident in employing the strategies discussed in this book for the machine he selects to play. The type of deal has little impact on the long-range prospects of the skillful player.
