Human error is one reason. Every mistake from optimal play can cost you money.

For example, if your playing Jacks or Better and get dealt:

AcKcTc6cJh

In general, you want to keep 3 to a royal in these situations, except when you have a straight penalty card…which is the Jh here…which will make keeping 4 to a flush slightly more profitable. So it’s likely 99% of casual players will make the wrong play in this case and this will cost you a few pennies on the hand most likely. See: http://wizardofodds.com/jacksorbetter for more details

The second reason which will happen to even flawless players is Variance. Roughly 2% of the total return on most video poker machines comes from hitting a royal flush. So for any stretch of hands where you do NOT hit a royal flush, you will likely win only 98% of your money back. Considering on most video poker machines, one can expect to hit a royal flush every 40,000 hands or so…it would be quite easy to lose a sizeable sum of money before that royal comes your way.

Question by Banana: Trusted site for online video poker?
I’m going to Vegas in a couple of weeks & I’m just trying to warm up. Do you know of any trusted sites where you can bet online? I like the free video poker games but they seem highly unrealistic compared to Vegas. I’m winning thousands of points on the free games & that just never happens to me in reality. So, I’d like to try real online gambling but not for very much money.
