If you want to make a tiny hourly rate doing something extremely boring, then video poker is the thing for you. Generally speaking, the games with the highest player edges are limited to quarter machines. Sometimes, you can find games with a miniscule player advantage for perfect play at the dollar level, but those are by no means ubiquitous. If you really scour Las Vegas hard, you can occasionally find anomalous machines, such as five dollar machines with tiny player advantages or multi-play dollar games, or even games that have been set up wrong and mispay in such a way that the player has a huge edge.

At the end of the year, with totally perfect play, you'll have made about $50,000 and you'll want to shoot yourself because your life is terrible.
