Great story about 2 guys exploiting the video poker machines

I have absolutely zero interest in gambling. Seems kind of stupid if you ask me. But I've always loved a good story about people beating the casinos, and this shortish article about two guys exploiting a bug in the video poker machines to make big $$$'s is a great read. Personally I think they did nothing wrong.

    Moral to this story;
    "Greed will be your undoing".
    They exploited a "bug".
    Remedy:
    fix the bug, ban the player.
    But, the casinos hold "all the aces".
    Nuff said...
