And it’s not even regular poker. It’s video poker, which is even more rigged than your average casino.

“It’s video poker, which is even more rigged than your average casino.”

“Real” video poker machines aren’t rigged. They use pretty good random number generators to create the deck and they’re not intentionally weighed against the player. This assumes, of course, that they’re following gaming laws. I’m sure they are since it’s be stupid to pass up the piles of money they rake in legally. If a player would play a long period of time by the book, they’d nearly break even.

You might be thinking of those poker and video slot machines that lurk in rooms in small, local bars. Those are weighed against the player ... The operator sets a definitive payout cycle and max payout. It maintains all money in and out and insures that the machine never pays out too much. A player wins by sheer luck. If a player would play one of these a long period of time, they’d lose everything since the payout percentage and max payout are not based on random events.

Video poker in Vegas (as well as slots) would be a fairly straightforward way to launder a lot of money I’d think. As someone else mentioned, who cares if you lose 2 or 3 percent of your large bankroll when your goal is to have clean money at the end of the process.

“In the solitary world of video poker, Stephen Paddock knew how to win.”

Steve Paddock had X-Men type powers-telepathy.

Steve could alter the machines code with his mind.
That’s the only way the lame stream media’s theory works
