I have a perfect condition Pot of Gold Cabinet that i just got from an old man across the street. he bought it from the original owner from a private club back in the 80's and has had it ever since. But it has video poker buttons and a video poker game in it. ill post some pictures in a few days, it looks better then the generic photo on here. but i dont understand why its a video poker. did someone make it that way? Any ideas will help thanks.
 
I would say maybe $100 - $150 on the high end. Video poker games tend to have a low resale value.

Based on your pictures, it appears the original game in that cab was actually Kaos (Game Plan 1981). Notice the dragons on the kick panel below the coin door.

Kaos was a flop, so Game Plan issued conversion kits in 1982 to convert Kaos into a new game called Pot of Gold.

Pot of Gold flopped as well, so at some point, the cab was converted again into the video poker game you have, and the operator left the Pot of Gold artwork on the cab.

Does the video poker game have a title screen? It looks like it could be Joker Poker.

Your listing is wrong:
Rare Pot of Gold Video poker. Made in 1982, All original parts. One of the first video pokers out there. Comes with manuals. works perfect. Make an offer. Email call or text 913-713-9620
It's not original if it is a video poker machine, you should change this.

I have a Pot of Gold kit around here, suppose to be a working pull. I should dig it out some day.

If I was closer I'd probably snag that for the Bezel and Marquee not that I need another as I have several. But one day when I get a game room up I want to decorate it with Pot of Gold Marquees and Bezels.

The orginal cabinet is indeed a Kaos. Kaos lasted at most 3 months before being converted to Pot of Golds.
