STS, that's like saying that anyone who bets a dime on a horse is a damn fool. There are knowledgeable bettors who do quite well at video poker. And luck has nothing to do with their success. They know how to combine the strategy of the game with cashback and other perks to produce a longterm profit. Very much like what successful cappers do.

Now if you said that 99.9% of the people who play slots are playing a losing game, I'd agree whole-heartedly. But I could say the same thing about betting horses.
