Ways VP machines can cheat without increasing house advantage

#1

"I could name other examples, but the idea is that the machine takes a losing result and either presents it in such a way as to make the player feel he "just missed the big one", or alters the result so that, while still a loser, the result may encourage a harmful alteration in strategy."

I'm sure when we read your post we all reflected back to own individual experiences where this type of thing seems to happen all too often. The one I see most is that 4th RF card that comes out first on the draw. No one can say for sure why it happens--truly random is the most probable--but...... Anyway, I don't accept the standard input that says 'no casino would ever risk such a thing' because there's ways around everything, and until someone's caught it remains a loophole. I wouldn't trust any vp computer beyond reproach unless I programmed it myself and it never left my possession or sight.

It still come's down to what Harry said. If you really think the machine's are "gaffed," "tightened" or "screwed with", why are you playing them? I don't play 3-card-montie in Philadlephia, because I know the game's are rigged. It should be the same thing if you truly believe it about video poker games. I may be naeve, but I trust the state to regulate the machine's. The casino's are making plenty of money without cheating. Ned C.The Wild Joker

If I thought the machines were tampered with in Nevada, I wouldn't play there for profit. My point made was that I play them because I am reasonably sure they aren't, and I trust the state's regulatory policy. But I don't know any more than that, in an absolute sense, than you or anyone else does.
