Re: Why do 100%+ payback VP machines exist?
[ QUOTE ]
Could someone please explain to me why there are video poker machines with paytables that produce 100%+ payout with optimal play? I understand that your average player isn't going to play nearly well enough to come near 100%, but why even allow the opportunity for expert players to have a +EV game?
I would think that casinos would simply opt not to buy VP machines with more than 99.5% payout.

If you do a survey, you'll find that 90% of the people believe they fall in the top 10% of intelligence.
Simply knowing that a game can be beat is enough to make most people play it. Very few will have the discipline to actually learn how to beat it. The club only needs to look at the bottom line to determine if it's profitable, not the distribution of wins/losses.
