Using a casino player's card for video poker

Some of my friends and acquaintances refuse to use a casino player's card while playing video poker. They believe that their payoff will be reduced because of the comps they receive from having the card inserted. If you happen to be someone who always uses a player's card when playing your favorite machine, congratulations. There is no need to continue reading. You are getting your hard-earned rewards. If, however, you are someone who doesn't use a player's card, please read on.

Video poker hands are determined by a random number generator that is constantly running in every machine. The cards dealt are determined each time you hit the deal button. The cards selected will be exactly the same whether or not there is a player's card inserted. The casinos have virtually every game tilted in their favor. Don't give up anything to the casino by not inserting your player's card. Get everything you are entitled to.
