According to Eric Paddock, his brother Stephen... he gambled for 20 plus years successfully.
The only way to do that would be by playing in poker tournaments

In the last three years alone, more than 200 reports about Paddock’s activities, particularly large transactions at casinos, have been filed with law enforcement authorities, ABC News was told.
While some of the reports centered around "suspicious activity," most were "currency transaction reports," which casinos are required to file with the Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network when a person withdraws or deposits more than $10,000 in cash. ...
In one case, Paddock recently won $40,000 on a slot machine, his brother, Eric Paddock, told The Associated Press.
"That’s the way he played," Eric Paddock said. .....
"He was a very consistent player," the source said. "The notion of his winning or losing $40,000 seems very much within his norm."

The guy was in shadow government and this was a psy op. He had money rolling in and kept his social and family contacts to a minimum constantly travelling. Now he played video poker. He had a math background and worked for the IRS back in the 80s as well as the postal service. If this was recent you'd think he was in on identity theft. But what if he had access to technology that let him cheat the machines? Or maybe he just did work that gave him large amounts of cash and he had to have a way to explain how he got it, by gambling. You don't have a falling out with your girl friend and then send her 100K hoping she'll come back. He gave her that money to either keep quiet or to help support her once he was gone. He was a pilot and had two small planes. Drug or human trafficking?

The "Poker" they refer to is Video Poker.
Not regular poker where players play against other people.
The Video Poker games are "you against a computer".

Balding and paunchy, Paddock was the opposite of flashy. On his application, he said his income came from “gambling.” He gambled about $1 million a year, he told one of the agents.
And he paid cash for the house, the agents said — $369,022.

Any real investigation would put his wealth and how he got it under a microscope. But they just say "real estate" and that's supposed to explain everything? Well it explains nothing.

Great. More bad news for Freedom and Democracy.
This guy was an investor for the ultra rich. Soon, everyone will be a target for the loony bin based on a hunch by some Esteemed, cough, corrupt law pushers. I can see where this is going.

WASHINGTON — Marilou Danley, the woman investigators hoped would provide key details into the motive behind her boyfriend's deadly shooting attack, said she remembers him exhibiting symptoms such as lying in bed and moaning, according to two former FBI officials who have been briefed on the matter.
"She said he would lie in bed, just moaning and screaming, 'Oh my God,'" one of the former officials said.
The other former official said Danley spoke about Paddock displaying "mental health symptoms."
