From the article: “Each time I push the button, it will range from $100 to $1,350,” he said.

He’d have to push the button between 52 to 767 times an hour for 14 hours to bet a million dollars. Or between 740 and 10,740 times during the whole night.

True, but again, you have to assume he is telling the truth about how much he was betting.

There are plenty of people who will sit at those video poker machines and play them for 10-12 hours straight, pushing the button over and over and over again. If he was good with numbers, then maybe he could figure the odds well enough to make his personal results turn out a little better over time than the average player.

But none of that makes me believe he was actually betting $1 million a night.
