About hacking a machine:
I assume you mean biasing the RNG. All those payoff tables published at this site and elsewhere are computed on the assumption that the RNG is "flat", at least to within a specified statistical criterion. Meaning: any card is as likely as any other card.
It doesn't take much of an RNG "tilt" to render those tables useless and to enhance the house take.
Questions:
What's the general state of knowledge (or suspicions) about hacked machines? Does the Nevada Gaming Commission have any control over this inside the state? I assume it does.
I have always been wary of video poker machines outside Nevada. Do I have a legitimate concern?
