To my knowledge, at the present time there are only two jurisdictions where the video poker in a non-Indian casino is not random -- New York and Washington State. Both of these are due to the enabling legislation. It is not a question of the casinos putting pressure on the regulators/gaming commission to allow a random deal.

Why do you think people will play an 8/5 JOB game when a 9/6 game sits empty right next to them? Besides just being plain unobservant, there are a LOT of people who think the pay table doesn't really make a difference, or even worse - think the 9/6 machine must be set "tighter" somehow. And to make matters more confusing, there are some gaming jurisdictions where these people are right!

If you try to explain the concepts of random card selection, calculated return based on the pay table, etc., most people will look at you like you just turned into a two headed alien.
