The point of the video was to demonstrate a situation where you could make infinite money from a game, permitted that you had near infinite money, and the person willing to dish out money from the game, also has infinite money.

It's definitely a reason why people play lotteries and such, because the median expected value & average expected value is so misconstrued by the top prize.
