Spin-off of 5-coin royal history -- history of video poker?

The "history of 5-coin royal" thread got me thinking. Is there an
accurate history of the development and appearance of video poker
technology on scene in the casinos? At the Slots-A-Fun in Vegas, I've
seen Sigma VP machines from 1981, but I'm wondering how much farther
back the games go. Also, I'd like to know about quirky and/or generous
paytables that popped up, and other minutiae.

Any help is appreciated.

Video poker was first introduced and marketed by
Si Redd in 1975.
