We are dealt low pair after low pair and never draw anything to make a paying hand. Or we are dealt four of a flush time after time and seemingly never get a fifth card of the same suit to complete the flush. Do these situations offer proof that the video poker game you are playing is rigged?There are “experts” who use criteria such as these to “prove” machines are biased.I decided to perform a little experiment to see...read moreThe lucky and unlucky ones18 June 2015 In a former column, I wrote about a woman who had been betting one coin per hand at a 10 Play Poker game.
