Video Poker the sport of the trailer park set! They ought to revise the law so that law enforcement officers would be required to immediately destroy the damn things when and where found! (Yes, I know that’d be illegal, I’m being hyperbolic)

Video poker was a blight on South Carolina when it was legal and the thought that it’s sliming its ugly head back into the state is as disturbing as the woman in curlers, with two inches of ash on her menthol, sitting on the stool at the Zippy Mart, spending her grocery money and getting excited when she wins ten after blowing fifty in the effing thing…

I’d love to see a social experiment where they rig one of these things to pay out $1,000 just to see how long it takes for them to dump every penny back into the machine.

The prejudice in comments above is disgusting and wrong. My brothers and mom and I would have a lovely time a couple of nights a month taking mom out to bingo and video poker afterwards. We played at VFW posts. If we didn’t win at least we spent a pleasant few hours together. When they shut down the games she spent time in solitude with scratch offs instead of out in the world socializing. SC lottery is gambling that does nothing but put more money in the pockets of rich. Let the little people have some fun again. Keep fighting for our rights to spend our cash as we see fit. Plus the money supposedly going to education is funding chairs in overpriced colleges not grade schools where it’s needed.
