Can VP machines be tweaked legally by the casinos

Nothing new here, folks, just a reminder with a wink that our favorite past time can be legally hacked by the casinos. I'm not talking about the obvious reduction of the games' returns posted on the glass such as, JoB from 9/6 to 9/5 for example, but the legal tweaks in the game's algorithms that you cannot see. I'm specifically referring to the Frequency of higher paying hands. Starting with FH's all the way up to 4K's, these hands are taking longer and longer to show up and rescue you from your inevitable demise. And it's legal as long as it is done within certain parameters, which they are. Case in point for example, this past summer when the two new casinos opened here in AC, the VP machines in the High Limits of one of the casinos in particular were raining 4K's and RF's as if there would be no tomorrow. Once the honeymoon of its grand opening was over the rain stopped. I have been playing VP for nearly three decades at various casinos all over the country ranging from nickles to five-hundred dollar hands. I've had astronomical jackpots as well as losses. For the past few years my central nervous system, aka my brain, which is still sharply attuned to these rhythms, has been registering misfires in these machines algorithms. Lots of them. No hysteria here. Adjust your play, keep calm and VP on!
