The Match Card Bonus is a sure sign that it is a Class 2 game. (Non-random) All NY casinos are Class 2. Normal VP is Class 3.
Your playing strategy has no effect on the result. If your result (determined before the deal) cannot occur due to your hold, the match card bonus makes up the difference. NY is about a 90% return.

If Nevada Law requires VP machine manufacturers to Certify random deal
in all jurisdictions where the machine is sold (not just Nevada) to
obtain licensing in Nevada....then the Multi-Game Machines are
probably random deals even if the RNG is by central computer and not
self-contained in each machine. However, even with 400 coin SF, Multi-
Game is still less than 100% ER.
Per Nevada regulations cited above, DOES random deal mean "based upon
a 52 card deck"? I have read the VLT articles by Linda Boyd and Dan
Paymar but still have my doubts.
Bally's Machines look and feel entirely different from Nevada and
Atlantic City and may be Pull Tab or Bingo variety. If a random deal,
then the 10/9/7 Double Bonus is better than 100.18% ER (FP plus 5000
coin RF plus Match Bonus.
Note that Match Bonus applies to max coin bet of 5 coins not 6 coin
bets like STP.
Any experts out there who agree, disagree or wish to educate me?
