LVSun - Gaming industry wins key ruling in lawsuit
Ok, I admit it. I'm dense. I've read through both stories on this case at least twice and I STILL don't get what the lawsuit was about (i.e., what was the complaint?)
Can someone who understands the arguments re-phrase or explain it for me?

Carlos;
Don't worry. You are in the same boat as the plantiffs and
plaintiff's lawyers.

In as plain English as I can make it, according to the suit:
Slot machines are not truly "random" because they are controlled by a
computer. Despite the fact that there are 20 physical stops on each
reel, not each stop is equally likely to occur; therefore, this is
fraud.
Video poker is not truly "random" because a physical deck is not
used. The computer chip can be set to deal out certain cards more (or
less) often than others; therefore, this is fraud.
I hope this helps.

It does help, thanks. They're claming the minute difference between computer-generated randomness and "true" randomness is enough to constitute fraud when a casino (or game manufacturer) claims the deal from a virtual 52-card deck is random. Hmmm....
It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
