Before an answer is posted, is this a "hypothetical" question or does it reflect a game actually on the casino floor?
Technically, vp card manipulation must stay true to the standard handling of a physical card deck in play, unless otherwise detailed explicitly (as in "Dreamcard vp"). In other words, a player wouldn't normally expect a discard to be returned to the deck for availability on the draw and you shouldn't expect to see a machine with this "feature" without explicit disclosure.
That said, there's little doubt the "feature" would have an adverse impact on EV; a card is discarded only when keeping it impairs the value of the held cards (or has less value than discarding the full hand).

What is the effect on the game when the discards from the deal are returned to the deck for the draw?
Thanks in advance!
Have a happy holidays :)
