I visited a couple of casino's in Western Europe, and some provide good return tables for Jacks or Better or Deuces Wild, but I have yet to find one that has a denomination of less than 1 euro. My belief on this is that the casinos not only count on their house edge, but even higher on the huge risk of ruin of people who'd like to play video poker but can only do that on 1 euro machines.
What are your thoughts on this?
Are there Europeans or people who have visited European casinos on this forum who have found lower denomination video poker machines?
Thanks!

The house gains no additional advantage from increased player risk-of-ruin due to variance. This is a common misconception.
It doesn't matter to the house whether one player goes bust and another player takes his place, or if all bets are made by the same player.

Most European casinos are small, with a few hundred machines or less.
So you won't find many VP machines in any denomination.
There are 20cents machines.

winning streaks come and go, losing streak never ends.

Thank you AxiomOfChoice, you are absolutely right. I hadn't thought it through, the machine indeed doesn't know if it's one player or multiple!
