And the reason this green creature has a strength rating of 3 is because he's really, really stupid. Video poker is played as a solo game. There are only two circumstances in which people can even "compete" against each other: (1) a linked bank of progressive machines, or (2) a combination of game and promotion that is so good that there are more players wanting to play that particular game than the casino has machines with said game.

It's pretty much impossible for players to cheat each other at video poker. Now casinos and operators cheating the players -- that's a different story, because it has happened in the past.
