Along those lines, I have a question. I saw some things mentioned before about in some places the VP machines are treated just like slots or bingo or something. In that they pay a certain win regardless, or, are set to deal a certain number of specific payouts.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong here - I'm understanding this to mean that they pay the proper amount on the winners listed, but the machine is set to only deal a specific number of each winning hand, and those number of winning hands are set at lower than should happen? Example being it is supposed to deal quads x times per 1000, and instead is "set" to deal quads x-1 per thousand, effectively decreasing the percentage payback?
The other question about this - how would I find out which jurisdictions allow this type of thing? Specifically I am inquiring about Oklahoma, so maybe if someone knows if this is possible there, they could let me know? Or tell me where/how to look it up and what wording I'm looking for?
Thanks for any help!
