There is no such thing as a "loose" or "tight" video poker machine. Unlike reel slots which are governed by variant programming within the microchips, video poker machines are programmed to be as random as possible. Digital processors cannot achieve true randomness, but the deviation away from 100% randomness is so small that it is not a factor in how the machines play.
