I am watching these 3 guys (mid-late 20s at best) play a 3 line, one dollar denomination, ultimate X video poker machine last Thursday, March 22nd. They hit a royal flush with no multipliers for $4000. It seemed like it took alot of money for them to hit it so they may have not walked away with a whole lot after hitting the royal. About an hour later there were playing another video poker machine. $10 a card or $50 for max. on a one line (one hand) machine. They hit 4 aces with a kicker which paid the same amount for a royal. I think it was a super double bonus poker machine. That was $40,000. About an hour later a buddy of mine heard them high five again and say "$100,000!". We both peered over. They were playing a one hand $25 video poker machine or $125 a hand max and hit the royal after holding 3 to the royal. That's $144,000 in about 3 hrs. Not bad work. Still waiting for something to hit the St. Louis papers.

That's some serious change. Wonder if they were professional poker players? They seem to be the only young guys with that kind of bankroll these days.
