Aristocrat VP's machines

I am no VP expert, try to play the best machines for cover as a
blackjack player. Local Indian casino has machines made by
Aristocrat and for 9/6 and double bonus type machines they seem
awful tight.
Was wondering if these machines are also in Nevada?

You may want to check out the article linked below which surfaced from
a quick internet search. It game me some comfort that we were talking
about something a little more legit than the VLT machines in
Washington State, for which hand frequencies are tweaked by the house
and don't reflect the random results of a 52-card shuffle.

Aristocrat is a very large Australian concern that markets to the
major houses in Australia and throughout East Asia (as well as the
"pokies" in Australia - local pub-like neighborhood outfits). They've
introduced themselves to the US through a subsidiary headquartered in
Las Vegas.

Already holding clients such as Boyd Casinos, Aristocraft inked a deal
with Harrah's late last year in which they would provide 1000 video
slot machines domestically, incl. LV (presumably that may include vp).
Being a hard core believer in market economies, I think any challenge
to the IGT giant is a good thing.

The significance here, if I understand correctly, is that any specifc
machine NV state certified is required to be installed in identical,
fair form in any other US locales. In principal, that means you
should be able to play that machine anywhere with strong confidence
it's fair.

However, if they introduce other machine models outside of NV I don't
think there's the same protection. The fact that we're not talking a
fly by night company, however, gives me a lot more faith in fairness
than when I first saw your reference to this unfamilar company.

My take on this is that if you play any lesser known make outside of
NV it's a definite case of "caveat emptor". Nonetheless, If the best
game found in a casino was an Aristocrat machine, I'd be willing to
give it some extended play. I just wouldn't bet the house on it, to
play it safe.

Thank you for the reply. You did understand me perfectly and
knowing it is not some unknown firm and can sell in Nevada does give
me more confidence.
