Video Poker Disappearing?

From: "bryantc214" <bryantc214@yahoo.com>

"Why are the casinos removing so many of their VP machines? Is it because of
the economy or has the rise in popularity of VP along with expert play caused
the casinos to lose money with these machines?"

You must mean the positive EV machines. The answer is simple and very clear:
Business decisions to produce a higher profit margin--just as in any business
anywhere. There are other policies being implemented other than just changing
paytables/removing positive machines. But we only focus on vp machines here.
