A few days ago I asked if the video poker machines in West VA were random. Evidently they are random. I did a little research as Kelso suggested and this is what I found:
Under West Va Code 29-22A-6 Video Lottery Terminal Requirements
#14(b) Each video lottery terminal shall have a random number generator to determine randomly the occurrence of each specific symbol or number used in video lottery games.
Also, I found the following to be of interest:
#14(c)1. Video lottery games shall pay out no less than eighty percent and no more than ninety-five percent of the amount wagered.
It is easy to see why the pay schedules are really bad, with 95% max payout dictated. But, I am still glad to at least be able to look at the paytables and know what the payout should be in the long run. With the slot machines its just a guess.
