according to both my results and the feedback I get from others,
clearly, MANY VP machines in AC are set to return well below the typical
expected ranges of 95-99% that most pay tables predict. The
only way to do this is via the SOFTWARE options and utilities that may
exist in the user (i.e. casino) menus that accompany the games.   The
actual RNG chips themselves as we all know and agree, are inviolate.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I wish to personally perform a "tune up" on two such machines in both Caesars and Tropicana, with a tire iron or baseball bat tool. The only recourse in AC is play the machines that you have been successful with and simply consider the bad ones toxic. When in doubt, recall definition of insanity.

Spent 5 hrs at Borgata on $1.00 9/6 jacks yesterday. Was never up more than $200 or down more than $200. Cashed out even, but got approx. $100 in slot/comp dollars out of the session. Machine seemed random, normal amount of quads, full houses etc. One of the older slant tops that are not server based. Results so far for this year, -$1,600. Still time to get it back.

Not bad at all, Car. No dent in your deficit, but comp dollars more than compensated for your trip expense. I would not mind such a session. What bank roll was required?

[QUOTE=onemoretry] [QUOTE=FAA] This is kind of our Wizard of Oz moment where they peel back the curtain. Our over reliance on the RNG crutch rationale has been exposed.

What, exactly, do you mean by that?[/QUOTE]See, I am sorry onemoretry...........[/QUOTE]
I wasn't really looking for a 400 word third party interpretation, but thanks anyway.

  Long winded does not equate to "well argued."

[DaBurglar]

  Long winded does not equate to "well argued."I agree 100%, which is why I compose well thought out, convincing and thorough responses to empty, foolish and erroneous "potshots".....

'well thought out and convincing', those are not quite the words i would have chosen.

This just keeps getting better and better.
