If the player actually is drinking those expensive bottles of wine why the fuck is he playing video poker in the first place? Isn't it in most video poker situations the comps themselves that may make the game a positive expectation? And that the player always needs to keep a playing bank up to par, so as as being the #1 priority?
*Sigh*

You got to eat right?
You like to enjoy a really good bottle of wine, Louis Trey and Good Cigars right?
You like to raid the Gift Shop sometimes don't you?
All this stuff is factored in.
If you are just factoring in dollar for dollar and see no value in other benefits this play would not be for you.
Plus you are playing a game where variance could go either way.
It's not so easy to find plays where you are at better than 99% return and you have the possibility to crack 25, 50 and 100k jackpots.
Best to play it safe and stick to quarter FPDW or Vision Machines or Black Jack.
We all have different spots and methods.
