Video poker machines are a con
Just take a look at poker machines lined up at the entrance to any casino, or lurking in the corner of social clubs where the local gambling ordinances permit them. 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. Experimentally they’ve prooved one important thing. You can’t get to the House 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 they win gold. Everything is simple at the first sight. 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. House doesn’t need to rig machines. There’s no way they will spoil a sure thing by risking detection as a fraud by regulators.
