Linda Boyd's "Video Poker Edge" may be dated now, but is truly enlightening regarding which states have real video poker vs. VLTs. VPfree links has a number of good links to state gaming commissions.
I believe you can test this by throwing away dealt winning hands, and if you get back at least what you threw away (or better) on the draw it's probably a VLT.
