He was probably a card counter and just played video poker so as to not raise suspicions. Pretty common thing for card counters to do.



I'm pretty sure card counting doesn't work on video poker. Now it may work in video poker if you are not playing against the machine but rather against other humans and the machine is just acting like the casino dealer.

I meant he counted cards at the blackjack tables and that's where he made his money. He'd go play video poker to keep the casinos from getting suspicious. Playing video poker probably also got him free rooms and meals.


I don't know. Just a theory. I've heard it's a pretty common thing for card counters to do.
