Re: Are casino VP machines truly random?
Just remember no VP machine utilizes a true RNG. They all are equipped with a PRNG (Pseudorandom Number Generator). BTW, where is the casino/state mentioned located?

When Mohegan Sun opened after Covid, I returned and played my favorite dollar machine. Like an idiot, I didn’t recheck the pay table. I think on day 2 I hit a Royal for 1500 instead of 4,000 with a 5 buck bet. There’s was nothing I could do but grumble. However, I immediately quit playing the machine and continued to go up the ladder telling them to check my record on coin in on that machine which sometimes was as high as 20,000 a week. I also of course alerted other players that a correct pay Royal required a 15 dollar bet and most of them walked away. After a few weeks of the machine sitting idle, I at least had some sense of consolation. About 2 and a half months later, I checked as I always do and the machine had been returned to its pre Covid pay schedule. It remains that way today and people including myself are back to playing it. Overall of course nobody is a long term winner so at least for now they are somewhat content with that. The highest payout on the machine is 98.8 so not bad. You also get paid 800 for bet one on the Royal on the game I play on that machine.

Don't know of any Indian Casinos that run class 3. Have not been in them all so could be wrong.

Four Winds in Michigan and Indiana also operate class Iii machines.

Greektown here in Detroit famously has 9/6 JoB with the 1500 coin royal.

Of course blindfolded and one of the techs used their amnesia watch just like that spy did in Kingsmen to the bartender.
Has anyone ever asked if the machines on this site are class II or class III? Hmm...

Ted…..When they blindfolded you, did they also spin you around 3 times then point you in the direction of the slots like Bizarro does?
