vp in CA

Hi Lee!

As far as machines being on the up and up, I seem to remember that if a
slot machine or video poker machine is sold in Nevada, then all of the
identical machines by the manufacturer must also conform to Nevada
gaming regulations. This would include video poker machines being
random, having a 52 card deck, and slot machines having a payout of over
85% (or what ever it is, I seem to remember in being in the 80%).

I can't remember where I read that now, but it keeps me playing machines
by the big companies (IGT, Ballys, Williams, etc).

Hello All-

I'm brand new to the group- although many of you many know me from

Jim's

Vegas Group, where I am one of the moderators.

My questions for the group are:

Is there a consensus whether or not the machines in CA Indian Casinos

are

on the up and up? Meaning are they paying true to their paytables?

Yes, but that law does nothing to prevent changes that occur
after manufacture.

That is true for the initial shipment of the machine. There is no way
of knowing what happens to it after it reaches its destination.

vp inventories seem to change every trip to a so cal casino, so you
should look around on your own. i've seen and played pick em, nsud,
9/6 job, 8/5 bonus, 9/7 db, and positive progressives. also check
the slot club benefits.

Thanks Mieko and everyone else for the replies- it seems the consensus is that there is no consensus, other than caveat emptor. Oh well, guess I will just have to continue those trips to Vegas.......Thanks again, Lee.
