The OP shoulda shredded the payout tables like so many inconvenient treaties.
Oh Come on guy!

Depends on the area. Some places are more tightly controlled. The New Jersey Casino Control Commission sets the minimum odds on all games and machines. The individual casinos can make the odds better than the minimum (hence all the billboards for "voted #1 for hottest slots!) but they can’t go below the minimum.
You blew all credibility with this sentence…anyone with any math skills wouldn’t be caught dead playing Keno…
I see I was beat. 
People who make a living gambling do it by taking money away from fellow players. Virtually no one makes money at the house’s expense on a regular basis. Sure, getting lucky once can give you a big payoff, but over time, the house wins. Playing games which pit the players against each other instead of the player against the house, or some sort of mechanical randomness(like slots or roulette or keno) is about the only chance you’ve got to turn skill into money in the gambling world.

It seems like the house would want to stop this: More money for the small-time pros means less take for them. There are only so many pigeons.
The Indian Casinos in Arizona are clustered around the big population centers, Phoenix and Tucson. Las Vegas is about six hours away by car from Phoenix and Laughlin NV not much closer. Tucson you can add two hours to that. Therefore the “only game in town” syndrome is as much in force here as, say, Connecticut.
At least with keno – and poker – machines you’ve got the payouts listed. On reel slot machines you cannot know how much the machine retains. The casino I worked in years ago got a new bank of dollar slots with a big sign over them, “98% payback!!” and they were. Three months later we took down the sign and changed the chips in machines from 98% to 92% payback. The payouts on the belly glass were not changed.
Curious, I compared the stop tables between the two percentages for the Red White and Blue game, the most popular in all of Nevada at the time. The RWB game has single, double and triple bars for minor payouts and red/white/blue sevens for the bigger payouts, one of each color per reel. The difference was subtle. The tighter machine had on reel 1, one double bar replaced by a blank, and on reel 3, one triple bar replaced by a blank. Reel 2 was the same in both. That was out of 64 stops per reel, a small difference indeed.
You probably did him a huge favor. Nothing is worse for your future bank balance than being lucky enough to win big the first time you gamble.
No the house loves this. As long as they get to host the game. Then they can earn their money with a rake off the top of the pot without worrying about someone getting lucky and hitting it big. As with all games the casino earns their money on the vig, they don’t count on everyone losing all their money.
Wow - I can’t believe this - the two saddest “pit” threads I have ever read are on the board simultaneously. Reading about people who have to sell their SUV’s left me feeling saddened, crestfallen and morose. Then I learn about someone’s traumatic experience at an Indian casino.
These are truly sad times in which we live. 
Where was the Indian Casino - in Bangalore or Mumbai?

Well I am equally outraged. :mad:
Maybe it would be a nice gesture to give them back their country? We can start with your house perhaps?

Yes, I’m sure just about everyone here at the SDMB is aware the proper term is Native American. However, even though the OP preferred using the insensitive and politically incorrect “Indian”, I didn’t think it warranted correction, considering the harrowing emotional and financial trauma he has undergone.
