More than once I have read that his favorite form of gambling was video poker. Can anyone win by playing these type machines over an extended period of time? Louisiana’s gambling former governor Edwin Edwards always referred to video poker as a suckers game. Play video poker for the long haul and you will lose all. I wonder if Paddock’s real business was money laundering for someone else.
I read that video poker had the second best odds for the gambler (compared to the house). The best odds were black jack. I supposed video poker would include black jack too?
At any rate, playing as often as he did, he would certainly lose money in the long run. His brother said that with the comps he received from the casinos, he ended up earning some.
I saw somewhere that the house has a 1 % edge? Over time you lose.
