Actually it's much worse than that for video poker. With the exception of the low-variance games like Bonus Poker and JoB paying 2 for 1 for a two pair, most VP games have a win rate closer to 1 out of 8 hands when you hit a 3-of-a-kind or better (13% or so). 30% of the hands are merely high pair/2-pair pushes. This is only in reference to non wild-card games.
