SDG manufactures & distributes the slot machines which look like the IGT
machines. (Double Diamond,Red, Whit & Blue etc)
The VP machines here at the Hard Rock in Tampa are definitely IGT. They are
class 2, do not have an RNG, are a Bingo based game (If you get a Bingo, &
throw away the cards, you'll be redealt a similar OR better hand) are controlled
by a central computer & since they are Class 2 & you're essentially playing
Bingo against the other player in the house, no payback percentage can be figured
out.
Hope this helps & not confuses.

Indeed they are Sierra Design Group machines. SDG is a subsidiary of
Alliance Gaming which merged a few years ago with Bally Gaming. I
probably recalled the initials SDG as IGT.
