My hat goes off to the brave officers of the NGCB but I think the reality is that they are underfunded and have too heavy of a case load and I have to side more with Rob in this one. But, if you're ever gaming in Nevada and encounter what you think is against the gaming regulations, send them email or give them a call:

The public never hears about most cases because the casinos agree to bigger settlements if there is agreement not to publically disclose the details and give the casino a black eye in the media. The casinos seem to treat the settlements as a cost of doing business, apparently there are enough gamblers that are afraid to fight back to justify this as a business decision.
Of course if you think your civil rights are being violated (you do know what your civil rights are, right?) then call 911 and your lawyer. And just because you're a degenerate gambler does not mean you need to surrender any of your civil rights, regardless of what minimum wage so-called "security agents" might say or do.

Um, yeah, Rob -- I have actually met someone in Nevada Gaming Control. Several, in fact. Guys and gals with badges, guns and actual authority. I know cause I called them to investigate, and they came. In every case but one, they sided with me and things changed. In other cases I reported a violation anonymously, and later found agents swarming over the afflicted joint with a fine tooth comb. I also once met personally the head of the Gaming Control Lab, in his office, where trained people with real equipment were doing real work to keep Nevada games honest.
It must be nice to be relieved of reality's heavy yoke, pulling statements out of your ass whenever the urge to pontificate strikes. For the sucker, all the world may indeed be "based on trust." The rest of us mostly prefer fact and rational thought.

If you actually know someone in Nevada Gaming, you'll find that strict regulation and enforcement is mostly a concept only. It's mainly based on trust on all ends. I doubt Calif. is any different, esp. with all those Indian casinos.

They should have been checking the return of the machine, but that could have still been favorable for the casino if players weren't betting max or were using the wrong strategy or making play mistakes or playing other games other than the one with the overlay. They may not have been checking the return of individual machines, instead just checking a bank of machines, and the bank may have been favorable for the casino. And maybe 100%+ games are prohibited in California and elsewhere, but what's the penalty? There is none. Name me a casino anywhere that's been fined for having a 100%+ game? There are plenty of examples of casinos that have been fined for cheating or violating civil rights. Is it also prohibited for state lotteries to go over 100%+ return?
