LVSun - New Jersey is set for battle over video lottery terminals
That article says that bettors are playing against one another. I thought
the definition of a VLT was that the result was determined on the original
draw and was not affected by the redrawing of cards.

Actually, this varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. VLT's some places
work exactly like slots and VP machines, in others act differently. This
was expressed in the article as follows:
"The definition of a video lottery terminal, or VLT, varies widely from
jurisdiction to jurisdiction," said Rick Sorensen, a spokesman for IGT, a
slot machine manufacturer in Reno.
The sentence you quoted is probably somewhat misleading, since a literal
interpretation would be that the games would be player-banked. While
possible, it is more likely that they would be more like Class 2 machines
(which play a game of Bingo in the background) or like Washington State's
(which behave in the manner you describe at the end of the part quoted below).
There really is no overriding distinguishing characteristic of a VLT as
opposed to a Nevada-style slot machine. The easiest way to remember this is
to recognize that identifying a machine as a VLT gives NO information as to
how it actually works.
I hope this clarifies a completely confusing situation for you.

that's a good definition
or just remember vlt/classII = rigged
now, the trick is how to tell the new rigged machines from
honest/fair/random machines?
so far, the bonus has been the tipoff
but i'm sure there are new rigged machines in the pipeline
will ngc keep them out of nevada?

FAQ #3b <http://members.cox.net/vpfree/FAQ.htm#3b>
defines a VLT as:
"VLTs look like regular video poker or slot machines, but they use a
central computer to determine the outcome of each game, and in many
cases they pay in coupons (pull tabs) rather than cash. Some VLTs
results are decided by a lotttery or bingo type game, while others use
a centralized RNG and are random and fair."
