Which one is really the better money deal - buying into the Aria daily tournament for $125 ($25 rake) or making one bet on a $25 Double Double Bonus video poker machine (max bet of 5 coins for a total of $125...with negative EV of less than 2%)?

Just one bet. Not to grind. Not to pass the time or self-entertain. The only objective is to try to make a score with that $125 single bet.

If you want to lose your money in 2 seconds then play the machine.
If you want to lose your money in 2 hours then play the tournament.

Why are people even playing the daily tournament (other than tourists). I mean thats an absurd rake?

Doing it wrong. Play the tourney and play VP during the breaks.

Fixed to reflect my experience

Also, don't play DDB, play Jacks or Better, neg EV is less than .5%. Aria has them in the high-limit room.
