That's a very good point. Honesty of big business goes
so far, remember what happened with Enron.
Enron made accounting "errors" and paid the price with fines and jail sentences; I agree any big business might try that (and I would think a casino would have more to gain by playing games with its accounting and saving on taxes, than by gaffing its video poker machines).
Again, it just seems like a far better risk/reward strategy to change your paytables (sure reward, risk is only losing volume of business) rather than violate the law on your machine's computer chips (reward is increased return, risk is complete shut down of your business and banned from the industry). From a business point of view, it's bad business to risk the entire existence of your business for a few $$ more. I can't imagine a casino knowingly engaging in this as a business practice / policy unless they are already up to their necks in debt and trouble and facing extinction anyway.
And those aren't the kind of casinos most of us are going to end up frequenting.
