When you're playing blackjack or craps, with physical devices whose odds are quite likely what they appear to be, "can't do math" might be a fair criticism. But when you're playing an underspecified game against a mysterious algorithm, doing math isn't really an option and all that's left is whether or not you trust the establishment.

The math is still there and it's even easier to calculate!
For example the article states that the house keeps $0.07129 for every dollar spent, or put another way, for every $100 coming in, the machines need to pay out ~$93.
Therefore, you can expect to lose on average $7 for every $100 you spend on slots.
