Good article, were it not for one unfortunately fallacious statement
in which John Daley, Director of Video Poker for International Game
Technology (IGT), was surely misquoted (or insufficiently quoted):
"The advantage with video poker is because there is only a 52-card
deck, you can calculate the percentages based on the pay table," he
said. "If you look at a Jacks or Better pay table, something that pays
back 9/6 (nine coins for a full house and six for a flush) for
example, that game is going to have a return to the player of 99.54
percent. Now if its 8/6, it's going to be roughly a percent less than
that."
Without making a statement about the strategy employed, it's
incredibly misleading.
