From a contributor - Video Poker is quite rare, and the casino had only two kinds of video poker machines, with the exact same denominations and games. I didn't count the number of machines, but it shouldn't really matter. As soon as someone finds a video poker machine, it's one of these two:
50¢, $1
98.01% BP (7/5)
98.00% DW44 (1-2-3-4-4-9-12-25-200-800)
Pickem Deuces Wild (1-2-2-3-5-6-8-25-75-100-500- 2000)
97.81% DB (9/6/5)
98.98% DDB (9/6)
98.45% JoB (9/5)
Pickem Joker Poker Royal Flush (2-2-4-8-10-12-20-100-200-400- 2000)
Pickem (2-3-4-12-15-20-100-200-2000)
$1 (the machines have the same games on 50¢ and 25¢, but with worse paytables)
97.30% JoB (8/5)
98.01% BP (7/5)
97.40% Bonus Poker Deluxe (8/5)
98.15% TDB (9/6)
97.81% DB (9/6/5) (labeled Suited Royal Double Bonus, but non-progressive)
97.87% DDB (9/5) (labeled Suited Royal Double Double Bonus, but non-progressive)
The players club is really weird. The machines don't take cards, but you get points by sliding your card at a kiosk every day. You don't need to play at all!
There is some play-based points earning at Casino Calgary, where one can get 1 to 1.15 points per dollar won on hand paid jackpots: http://purecanadiangaming.com/pure-rewards/. On $1 machines, hand pays seem to start at $2500 according to some Alberta regulations I found online, but no one in the casino that I could talk to knew what the exact limit actually is. The points at Casino Calgary are worth half a cent in comps or a quarter cent in free play.
