I also think people are overlooking that even some educated VP players
don't properly bankroll for a session and walk way at a certain loss
cutoff. This is natual human behavior for many and I suggest why even
a 100% payback machine can make money over time for a casino - as the
machine is perfect - the human playing is not.Mistakes - people make mistakes. Even on a positive play machine how
many people really have the skill/talent to have almost zero errors?
The 2nd point is valid. Casinos may still make money positive play machines
because most people make playing errors, holding the wrong cards, and this
makes their play negative.
However, the first point isn't valid. If you play without errors at a
positive play machine, the casino is losing money on you over the long term,
even if you're under-bankrolled for any particular session. From the
casino's point of view, it doesn't matter whether the player has a
sufficient bankroll. If one player leaves, another will take his place. A
skilled player making no mistakes at a positive play machine is a loss for
the casino (long term). Of course the casino would prefer that skilled
players are under-bankrolled, because this means they may spend less time
playing, & when they leave they may be replaced by an unskilled player. The
casino would like the skilled player to spend as little time as possible at
the machine.
But many people have the mistaken notion that the casino makes money off of
skilled players if they're under-bankrolled, and this isn't the case. From
the casino's point of view, it's a losing proposition to have a skilled
player at a positive machine (regardless of his bankroll).
