Harry:
Thank you for taking the time for your reply to this subject. I have 1 or 2 more comments that may be helpful in any interested Az. player's analysis. Those dollar IGT machines have been in place since day 1. Opening night I too hit Aces and won a little under $300. I saw a royal 2 seats away. That's when I started my private investigation, and I haven't played them since. In a day when 10/7's are scarce in dollars all over Nevada, why would they be such survivors in an Ariz. casino? (no answer required--just thought).
A common issue I often see mentioned here is how most believe it sacraligious to alter IGT machines since they are required to leave Nv. 100% random. I was fully relaxed on that point once I went to IGT on an invite. I was shown how simple it was to alter, and today many are controlled by fibre optics. The typical Indian casino is run by people who wield far more power on their reservations than even the CEO has at MGM. It is my conviction that no one would question what they do thru their self-regulation, and no disgruntled former employee would get any further than the pink noise level before being quashed. In the end, as always, it's a personal issue. And BTW--I didn't mean to say AC games may not be on the level (I know you spend an hour or two there each month....) I just haven't investigated any methods they have as I've done in Nv.
