Video Poker machine is a computer that is programmed to work in a certain manner. It has a microchip commonly called the RNG, short for Random Number Generator. The computer is programmed to generate every possible poker hand, over and over again. The computer works in nanoseconds.

Each card of the deck is represented in the computer by a symbol. The computer is instructed to constantly mix and roll the symbols so that all combinations are randomly produced. Then, at the precise instant when you click the mouse button, the computer flashes whatever symbols it is juggling at that moment onto your video screen. Though to the computer the symbols which represent cards may look like @&#+%, they appear on the computer as the Ace of Hearts, the Ten of Hearts, the Jack of Diamonds, the Queen of Spades, and the Three of Clubs. There is a part of the computer that translates the computer symbols into specific cards that we can understand.

If you hit the button at the same instant it has generated a winning combination you can win the jackpot due for that combination.
