Is there any way to tell whether a particular VP machine is random
or non-random in Tunica? I know in NV there are laws against non-
random. I know about the manufacturers doing business in NV having
to build random machines when they leave NV but can be changed
later. So my question is can you tell by looking at(or playing) a
machine is random or not?
Random vs non-random VP at Tunica
There is a Nevada regulation that requires that machines simulating live
games must have the same probabilities as found in the live game.
Mississippi's regulation states:
For gaming devices that are representative of live gambling games, the
mathematical probability of a symbol or other element appearing in a game
outcome must be equal to the mathematical probability of that symbol or
element occurring in the live gambling game. For other gaming devices, the
mathematical probability of a symbol appearing in a position in any game
outcome must be constant.
(3) The selection process must not produce detectable patterns of game
elements or detectable dependency upon any previous game outcome, the
amount wagered, or upon the style or method of play.
(d) Must display an accurate representation of the game outcome. After
selection of the game outcome, the gaming device must not make a variable
secondary decision which affects the result shown to the player.
(e) Must display the rules of play and payoff schedule.
(f) Must not automatically alter pay-tables or any function of the device
based on internal computation of the hold percentage.
(g) Must be compatible to on-line data monitoring.

Other than in a very nominal fashion, NY State doesn't regulate the
tribal casinos in the state. Play presumes faith in the unsupervised
integrity of the operators and, presumably, that equipment
manufactured by well known mfrs (e.g. IGT) hasn't been tampered with
after delivery.

Thank you. This is what I was looking for.
New York's regulations are included in the compacts signed with the two
tribes. Unfortunately, they don't seem to be posted online.
