Video poker machines are a con
Look at them, video poker machines lined up at the entrance to any casino, or lurking in the corner of social clubs halls. They are there to take the hard-earned dollars from suckers. They play to the avarice, the get-rich-quick in the poor saps who can’t resist them. . . Keep listening them complain they’re not winning enough. Keep watching them coming back to the machines. There’s only one thing you can say about these people. The House has an ultimate edge. No matter where you go in the casino world, whether its to some swanky place or online, the paytables are set in a way that gives the House a mathematical advantage.
Then those streaks will go cold. So let’s put those sore losers right. There’s no need for the House to rig the machines. The casino operators are going to win in the long term without having to cheat. That’s just the way statistics work their way to the one mathematical certainty. The House will win in the end. There’s no way they will spoil a sure thing by risking detection as a fraud by regulators.
