If you can drive to West Memphis, why not drive to Tunica, where the gaming is under some of the tightest restrictions in the U.S.?

According to the law passed in this area all games in the casino have to be considered a game of skill and this included thier slot machines. Took me a lot of searching to find anything concerning the payback on the VP machines but I found where the casino take could be no more than 17% but that can't be right. Or can it, the take they have had on my part has been 100%. 
 
You never got your money back on a single hand??? That's what you are saying when you state 100% losses.

I know nothing about gambling in Arkansas. Are you sure the machines are standard VP machines and not bogus class II machines? That could explain your losses.
 
Otherwise, it could just be bad luck. A few years ago I had two Indian casinos a could visit with exactly the same positive game. I could win at one casino and not at the other. Occasionaly, I talked with other gamblers who told me they had exactly the opposite results. This lasted a couple of years before I was able to finally start winning at both casinos.

What is so bogus about the class II machines? I've only played at Tunica casinos so they are all RNG machines.
 
The payback of these machines is NOT computeable from the paytable. The payback is fixed by the casino so these machines are essentially slot machines disguised as VP machines. The result of every hand is predetermined when you press deal (just like spin on a slot machine). You could throw away all five cards on every hand and get the same result.
 
Most of these machines have a genie or some other method of paying you if you don't hold the right cards. Pressing the HELP button may help on some machines.
