Found it re: "adjustments" to vp machines
This relates to another thread, in which I took the position that -- in Wisconsin anyway -- "adjustments" to payout frequencies on tribal vp machines may, perhaps, not be prohibited under tribal agreements with the state.
Prior to tonight, I was yet to encounter anyone who could actually document the issue one way or the other.
I was wrong (see state regulation detail below). But I am none the worse for finally moving beyond lazy and previously undocumented conjecture that the pay tables say what they say and pay what they pay.
Here's the documentation from state law that is perhaps similar to other state/tribe agreements. And I am outta' here:
Modifications of Approved Electronic Games of Chance. No modification to the assembly or operational functions of any gaming device or gaming-related equipment may be made after testing and installation unless a gaming test laboratory certifies to the Division and the Tribe that the modified electronic game of chance conforms to the agreed-upon standards.

Thank you for looking that up. It would be very interesting to know, as well, what the "agreed-upon" standards are.

While I am as suspicious of tribal casinos as the next person, I will say this:
I've had some fantastic times at Sandia Resort, a Pueblo Indian casino. I heard that they do not wish to "fleece" the public, it goes against their honor and ethics, so as a result, it is clear that people can enjoy the place without going immediately broke. Excellent video poker there.
WinStar, as I've recently posted, was a great experience, a Tribal casino.
But there are many that one would want to avoid like the plague. Casino Arizona is awful, and I have suspicions about their video poker. Same goes for Cliff Castle Casino in Arizona, truly the worst of the worst.
I will say as clear as I can that Indian casinos in Arizona are awful, and should be avoided for serious VP play.
