"The top machines at Mandalay Bay, where Paddock often played, pay out 99.17 percent, or $99.17 for every $100 wagered. You aren't living off your gamblings with that kind of losing payout."
You can make a small fortune playing those games. But ya gotta start with a large fortune to do it . . .

Arms or drugs or big time money laundering... not gambling. The Hotels gave him comps - they don't do that for people who are winning for 20 years. Looks like a cover story for Mom and Brother...

Blackjack - years ago I knew a kid who would go down to the islands - play blackjack just enough to cover his ticket, pay his tuition and some of his rent. He knew he couldn’t get greedy or they’d spot him and ban him... no one plays big time and wins for 20 years. Gambling’s a cover story...
