tech, it seems as if you have been on this quest for about as long as those nitwits have been on their quest on Oak Island. Have you thought about doing a t.v. show like them? This may get you some answers.
#1 snark with nothing to contribute. as usual.
Highly ignorable.
Finis!

Happened to be re-reading this thread to see if any actually useful info. on the subject may have surfaced.
I still have a couple questions on this subject. Who, if anyone, runs random checks on
machines in Indian casinos, similar to what is done in regulated places like Nevada, AC, and others?
Question #2. The RNG in machines, as manufactured, is required to be "coded and encrypted so as to be accessible to no one"
Is it possible for the machine owner to access and alter the RNG?
Anyone with sources of info. on either Question your response will be welcome.
Please don't take too seriously the Poobah's who treat this subject as a joke or conspiracy theory territory when it is really just a quest for knowledge. They are good guy's and that's just what they do.
Good luck getting valid responses. My experience is that all you get are snarky remarks about being clueless or a paranoid conspiracy theorist. What I find interesting is that I have never once seen any reports showing that these games are regularly tested and are certified to be truly random. I actually contacted the IL Department of Gaming the other day to inquire through a FOIA request if I could see reports regarding their testing of the RNGs in these VP machines. Nope. No luck. So much for "transparency". Everyone has the attitude of "Just trust us, bro. They're all legit. And if you don't agree, you're some sort of wacko."
My understanding is that, In Michigan for example, State gaming regulators have nothing to do with Indian casinos.
The Federal Indian Gaming Regulatory Commission And Bureau Of Indian Affairs have not returned any calls.
As far as legitimacy. I have no reason to question the machines that I play. I am an agnostic on that subject.
My quest for knowledge will continue as I see fit. Snark's have no affect on that. They deserve no more keystrokes.
