Great article. I lived in Nevada several years and saw first hand the jubilation of winners and despair of losers. I wasn't a big gambler, so I love reading your insights!
So far this is the favorite of your work. I almost lost my coffee this morning while reading it. I thought I recognized the guy in the image, the one bellied up to the machine at the Bellagio. He is video poker junkie, but he stopped playing in Las Vegas (he lives there). When he wants to play he jumps on a plane and heads to Reno/Tahoe - that's how he controls his play. He'd be broke if he still played in town. Anyway, the article gave me a reason to call and chat with him.
I love to learn something new everyday. Maybe it’ll help me appreciate Vegas.
Great writing, great photos, and lots of easy to understand playing strategy from a smart gambler who knows when "to fold them"

That is amazing, what a small world!
