Is it still possible to make a living playing video poker in Reno?

Are they many avaiable opporunities to play > 101.5% ER progessives?

Or > $40 / hours situations?

What sort of bankroll would one need to be a professional and make this
their sole source of income?

Thank you.

Well, at JA Nugget there are still 2 Sigma $1 Deuce Deluxe at 10.35%,
and 2 9/6 JOB with 4500 royals.

Also, the progressive $1 royal, near Starbucks, is at $8300 this
tuesday AM. Best game is 8/5 JOB.

Approximate Kelly Bankroll is variance/advantage bets. If you don't
know what that means, you're not ready to quit your day job.

Maybe, I should have asked are there any? and how often?

Yes, I do know what that means, but what % Risk of Ruin is
acceptable?

Well, maybe, if you look around, you might find an occasional
promotion or progressive where the casino has sweetened the pot. Some
people posting on here claim to be winning tens of thousands per day
from the Peppermill, maybe that's the hot spot to check out?

In theory, there is no risk of ruin with Kelly. You play at the level
of your current bankroll. In practice, the risk is very low, usually
under a percent, if you know what you are doing. Here, I'll throw you
a bone: go to Vegas, hopefully with enough money to play fity cent
deuces, meaning double kelly, risk of busting down to half is 10%, if
that happens you go down to quarter ducks, risk of busting down to
half is 10%, right there you've got 10% x 10% = 1% risk, but wait,
there's more, keep on going, if you bust down to half again, go down
to nickel ducks ten coins ... have fun! If you really expect to make a
living gambling, live action poker is the better bet.
