Video poker machines are a con
Just take a look at video poker machines lined up at the entrance to any casino, or hiding in the dark room corner of clubs where the local gambling laws permit them. They are there to take the hard-earned dollars from suckers. All that they do is pay for their greed. Sore losers. . . Keep hearing them complain they’re not winning enough. Keep seeing them coming back to the machines. There’s only one thing you can say about these people. They have worked out the one important feature of all the casino video machines. The House has an 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. There will be times when players have a hot streak and it will seem like all the jackpots are falling. Then those streaks will go cold. That’s just the way statistics work their way to the one mathematical certainty. The House will win in the end. So let’s put those sore losers right. The casino operators are going to win in the long term without having to cheat. There’s no way they will spoil a sure thing by risking detection as a fraud by regulators.
