Most VP machines are bought and they are not cheap, 10k-25k each depending on the model. IGT loans machines on a trial basis (VP and slot)if its new game they're trying to push. Many of the penny slot progressive(for example - Jackpot Deluxe) machines are leased while the large area progressive machine jackpots are paid by IGT and the casino only gets a small cut of the take. Wheel of Fortune is the most popular slot out there but its not really a money maker for the casino.
