Back in 1982 Sklansky and Malmuth robbed a shipping container at a west coast port and stole approximately 50000 Atari 2600's. At the time these were worth about $150 per unit on the street. This is well known among poker circles.

In the 80's it was fairly common to wager on the outcome of video games (arcade) just like, say, pool. That's presumably what the reference is.
