How do I know that the cards being dealt in Video Poker are not fixed?

Most casinos (online and offline) are audited by accounting firms who verify that the random number software are in fact producing random outcomes for cards and also verify that claimed payouts are correct. Also, most casinos use third parties to run simulations of all games in order to verify the randomness of the outcomes. The casinos will usually display their accreditations to give players more comfort in their credibility.
