Actually, corporations are not as a whole found cheating all the time in the way riggedologists believe poker rooms cheat. All business and industry would collapse if that was somehow reality.

Level of customer service is a very valid concern, and you should contact the rooms about any concerns or suggestions you have in this area.

Realistically this will not mean much to nearly all players. Most do not care/worry about this, and the few that think that superbots are doomswitching them with timing effects when they complete a bonus on their laptop will believe that no matter how many audits are done.

Casual players do not wake up and think "hmm, what is the RnG auditing procedue." They worry about how they can deposit, withdraw, what promotions they can get etc.

What it means is that they absolutely do, definitely, and without a doubt have the means to rig a game in their best interests, those best interests being analyzing playing habits and converting the play money player to real money. How do you convert someone or retain them? By making them think they actually know how to play poker. And how do you do that?
...By fixing the outcome.
No, what it means is you cannot read basic business speak. It's basically a brand management job, with one of the functions to increase the amount of play money players who become real money players.
Yeah, sinister - a company thinks of strategies to make more money. Wow. It has nothing to do with rigging the games, but finding strategies that would entice consumers to taking the next step (real money). Every company does this, what a weird thing to mis-interpret. Next time you see people/company giving a free sample of a product to try be sure to ask if they put heroin in it to addict the users...
In your world, the play money marketing manager would also be in on the whole rigged RnG thing. More people for the cave I guess.
