Any reporter would sensationalize such a story having "a billion dollars" attached in any manner to a former big city mayor. And while we all understand the premise of "losing" a billion dollars on vp, casinos regularly advertise that players have won "tens of millions" or more from their machines during any given month, when we all know that's just what was paid out or won during gambling sessions while ignoring whatever was lost--which is almost always more. In this case, whatever was won was ignored. We all understand that.
A more important point would be, if Wizard was consulted for the story, how is it that he did not set the record straight here? Such a statement from him, a true expert, would have done wonders for all the speculation we're seeing.
This continues to be an interesting video poker story. If I were still a columnist, I'd certainly try to get an interview with this lady and pay her for it if necessary. Bob's article clearly spells out all the top level facts and questions. A full set of answers would be compelling.
