Is all the gambling bad?

Reading comments on this site it sounds like all the slots in Lake Tahoe are tight. I was wondering if this also applies to video poker?

Is all the gambling bad?

Video poker is different than slots in as they cannot be programmed to pay a certain percentage. Per State law, video poker is dealt using a 52-card deck which must be shuffled by the computer. It is totally random and it would be the same as playing ';live';.

That being said, what can be altered are the payouts. For instance, in ';Deuces Wild'; video poker, one machine may pay 4-1 with a flush, while another one can be changed to pay 3-1. I%26#39;ve seen two machines in the same casino, same game, with different payouts. Check the machines and go for the ones with the best payouts.

Thanks. I thought that%26#39;s how it works. So, I may just stick to video poker; however, I%26#39;ve learned that in a short time span it really doesn%26#39;t matter much because anything can happen. I have played on machines with a great payout with terrible results. And I have played in casinos with machines that are very tight and done well.
