Re: How long can a game stay good? Possible stupid question.
nice answer card-sharp.

If a lot of money is leaving the game on a regular basis, won't the game eventually dry up?

possibly (kinda/sorta).
But consider the number of gamblers at other -EV games such as blackjack, craps, roulette and slots.
Lots of money getting taken from the customers in those games....and we don't exactly see them 'drying up'.
If anything, we see them continuing to thrive EVEN THOUGH there have been SO MANY casinos built all over this country now.
When it was just Las Vegas and Atlantic City (25 years ago or so) there was no way ANYONE thought this country would be able to support 1 or 2 more states with legalized gambling.
I mean, there just aren't THAT many people out there willing to lose THAT much money, are there? No freaking way.
Well, all the casinos all over the place now are proving that YES...there are PLENTY of people willing to just lose and lose and lose in IN, IL, IA, MS, LA, MO, MN, MI etc etc etc.
25 years ago there would have been VERY FEW people who would have EVER thought this was possible.
The lesson evidently is that there are SIGNIFICANTLY more Americans willing to lose LOTS MORE money then anyone previously thought.
