How can you cheat at Video Poker?

February 6, 2015February 6, 2015 by The Mystic Gambler

I never thought that there was a way to cheat at video poker and I certainly never imagined that it would take a court of law to prove it. But recent developments have proven me wrong and I can now appreciate what happened to me and my wife several years ago in Laughlin Nevada.

That’s when, after getting ‘black balled’ from the River Palms Casino, we played our way into The Edgewater Casino. It was before they removed all of the full pay video poker machines so we generally did very well. Of course we are advantage players so once in a while the stars would align and we would have exceptionally good sessions. On one occasion we just couldn’t do any wrong while playing NSUD (Not So Ugly Deuces) at the 50 cent level.

Kenedi quit working 13 years ago when he injured his back on the job. Since then he has been living on a meager pension, barely making ends meet.

He really wanted to keep his 10 spot keno windfall quiet but the excitement of winning $2,779,562 playing Keno was too much. So he popped the cork on a bottle of champagne and celebrated with his friends. Kenedi, a Macedonian migrant — named after US president John F. Kennedy — has decided not to reveal his surname.

A Central California Casino, Chukchansi Gold Resort and Casino, was closed by a federal judge because of an armed showdown between tribal factions. The confrontation was such that a number of gamblers ran out of the casino, many leaving their chips on the tables.

It was U.S. District Judge Lawrence O’Neill that acted after receiving an emergency request from the state attorney general’s office. There is no set date for the possible reopening of the Chukchansi Gold Resort & Casino in Coarsegold in California. The casino is located about 40 miles north of Fresno, The Fresno Bee reported ( http://bit.ly/1syCiKE ). The judge scheduled a hearing for Wednesday morning.

The casino was also ordered to close by The National Indian Gaming Commission, saying that the threat to public safety could result in serious injury or possibly death.

Watch the excitement of this Marine and his friends as he wins $2.8 million dollars. How cool is that? Although the odds are against you in a casino, jackpots are still won. And sometimes those jackpots are pretty big. One time I was playing at the Pioneer Hotel and Gambling Hall in Laughlin, Nevada when a lady won $2.4 million on a progressive slot machine. Another time my wife and I were sitting next to a lady that won $26,000 on progressive bonus poker at Laughlin Golden Nugget. But I digress. The point is that yes, people really do win humongous jackpots – once in a while. Someday I’ll find the photos of my big wins and post some of them here. Now continue on and watch this Marine as he and his buddies get a load of this 2.8 million dollar jackpot. Warning: Contains some profanity (they are Marines)
