Insufficient information.  However, provide game variance and permit the assumption that game results are "near-normally" distributed for values central to the mean, and it's possible to calculate the answer you are looking for (... which I would leave as an exercise for NOTI, whose much more facile with the math).

Variance is key here for a simple reason ... you're looking for results that exceed the EV by a given margin.  The high the game variance, the greater the proportion of results that will exceed that margin.

This is some math I don't know how to do.  In a 98.0% video poker game what is the chance of breaking even in a one million hand sample space?  Thanks for any help.
