It will be what it will be.
I for one, won't worry about it until it happens, and then will adjust my gambling accordingly.

If anything they will do 400-50-25-9-6-4-3-2-1 with a 98% return. People will still play video poker even with that return, just as people happily play 25 cent 9/5 JOB 98.45% return at Caesars Palace.

This would require that only players who have a card, and it is inserted in the machine can play, and there is no realistic means to identify that the players card belongs to that player. The cost and logistics of this would be unreasonable.
