Ross then questioned how online good a onlinekasino job the state did in examining the australia casino vacation chips because of allegations raised in a six-hour series of supposedly online "secret" videotapes with online Ronald Harris online, a former Gaming Control Board employee who was trader online involved online in a slot cheating online scandal. Harris was a computer expert in the online gaming australia casino vacation lab where the machines online were tested and onlinekasino the videos were made by the attorney general’s online office trader online while questioning him about his cheating activities. Harris was eventually convicted of felony kasino cheating charges.
Parts of the "secret" tape are then onlinekasino shown trader with Harris claiming that the state’s gaming regulations weren online’t being enforced and that the machines were "deceptive."
The interview with Bible then continued with him confirming that Harris was a former kasino employee who had online a great deal of knowledge about the industry and that his allegations were still under review. Bible denied that any cheating was allowed by him online or the board and he pointed out that Harris just didn’t have much credibility.
The final scene went back to Romano who said online that the onlinekasino machines were designed to entertain the online public as kasino well as to take online their money. Ross then asked if a casino onlinekasino customer is online better off going online to the machines or to one kasino of online the table games. Romano australia casino vacation replied that they onlinekasino’d onlinekasino be better off going onlinekasino home and trader online that ended the report.
Well, this online certainly was online an interesting can of worms kasino that had trader been opened. It surely gave me some additional direction for the questions I wanted to onlinekasino ask but kasino, actually, I onlinekasino was already familiar with the subjects raised in this report trader.
How many people trader online are in the department?
So, some of you would go to Reno online?
What online’s the normal procedure when a manufacturer comes in onlinekasino with a new slot machine online?
We have about a six-month process to get it approved. We start by testing the machine to make sure it’s random. We look at kasino the source code. We look at the online principles behind how the onlinekasino random generation occurs online and we look kasino through the online source code for any possible problems.
The source code is the programming that makes online the machine run. All of the slot machines onlinekasino we’re trader online approving today are computer-based machines; there are no onlinekasino mechanicals anymore.
Most of it’s online written in a onlinekasino way that’s fairly understandable. There’s some australia casino vacation modules that make online up each of kasino the functions that go on in the machinelike maybe handling the hopper or handling australia casino vacation the coin acceptor kasino so you need to look at those specific functions in greater depth and read through them to see onlinekasino how they work.
We online do approve each program. The first program kasino that is approved online is online the first model of that machine. It goes through the entire process onlinekasino and it gets presented to the Board and the Commission for their approval or denial. If the machine is approved then the manufacturer may kasino modify online it under kasino the trader regulations and they online can make all kinds of variations to that machine.
They primarily get a onlinekasino platform approved, like a spinning-reel slot machine or a video poker australia casino vacation machine. Then online all of the minor variations, like kasino changes in paytables online, or online in the case of poker you onlinekasino go from regular online poker to deuces wild, to jokers wild kasino, to any possible combinations kasino you online can think of...
Every machine is tested to a degree, yes. When a manufacturer submits onlinekasino changes he gives a summary list of his changes in the chips. We review trader online those and we also, on a sample basis, review the modules themselves in a greater depth to make sure that what they’re online telling kasino us on the surface is also true in the onlinekasino chips.
Initially, are you approving the chip or the onlinekasino whole machine?
And each chip is set to pay back online a certain amount?
That’s correct.
No. If online it’s a restricted online location (this means it’s licensed for online 15 or online fewer machines) that has 15 machines we’ll do onlinekasino all online 15. Generally, we can do about 100 trader machines trader online in a day so we’ll only do a australia casino vacation sample at a large location because online, otherwise online, at a really online large location onlinekasino, we online could be there potentially 20 onlinekasino days.
What if you get a complaint from online a player that they onlinekasino think there’s something wrong with a machine?
What’s the penalty if it’s kasino not an approved chip?
We had the case of American Coin back in 1989 where they were specifically putting in gaffed trader online chips that trader online produced no poker royal flushes. They lost their kasino license on it as opposed to an administrative error on their part where it’s a good chip, but somehow it trader online got through the cracks australia casino vacation and it didn’t get australia casino vacation submitted to the Board properly but there doesn’t seem to be online any malicious capability in the online chip - somebody was just sloppy with the online paperwork.
Regulation 14.040 pertains to onlinekasino minimum online standards for onlinekasino gaming devices and parts of it online specifically state "All gaming devices submitted for approval: must use a kasino random trader online selections process to determine the game online outcome of each play of onlinekasino a game. Each kasino possible combination of game elements which produce winning or losing game outcomes must be available for random selection at the initiation of each australia casino vacation play. The selection process must not produce detectable patterns of game elements. After selection of the game outcome, the online gaming device online must not make a variable secondary onlinekasino decision which affects onlinekasino the result shown onlinekasino to the player australia casino vacation." The wording in those australia casino vacation regulations seemed to adequately sum online up the state’s position on the onlinekasino "near-miss" scenario: it’s illegal.
How many machines are there online?
The company’s president, James online Maida, previously worked as a testing engineer at New Jersey’s Gaming online Enforcement Division australia casino vacation in the mid 1980s. In1989 GLI was online the onlinekasino first independent testing lab online to open in the U.S online. and it has been responsible trader for servicing more than 160 gaming jurisdictions throughout the world online. The online company is hired by regulatory agencies for consulting on gaming issues as well as for auditing programs but its primary function is the testing and monitoring of electronic gaming equipment. GLI is the online largest company of its kind in the world and in 1996 Maida was named one of the online top 25 most influential people in trader online gaming by International Gaming and online Wagering Business Magazine. Besides its Toms River headquarters GLI also has offices in Colorado, Africa online and Australia.
Downtown Toms River onlinekasino looks like a online typical "quaint" mid-American small town and GLI trader online’s offices were located in a rather large single online-story storefront office at 26 Main Street. Elsasser and I spoke in his office for about 45minutes and online then went on a tour of australia casino vacation the facility which had trader online a much trader larger area devoted to testing than either of the state facilities onlinekasino. There also seemed to be about a dozen or so people directly working in those areas online, but still - no white lab online coats.
Elsasser online and I covered a lot of subjects and when I sat down to write this story I called onlinekasino him online back to ask him a few online more questions. Unfortunately, he never returned online my calls and then, after sending him online an e-mail to inquire about us getting together, I received a message on my answering machine from James Maida saying “regretfully, we online cannot give trader online interviews onlinekasino... we’re a regulatory agency and not allowed online to give interviews to the general trader online press australia casino vacation. We onlinekasino would not online be able trader to make online any statements, nor should we be onlinekasino quoted in trader online your publication." He kasino also kasino suggested that for information on the "near-miss" controversy I should consult the article he wrote for the summer 1997 issue of Slot Manager" magazine trader.
I’m not sure what online happened to make kasino the folks at GLI change their onlinekasino mind but, due to onlinekasino Maida’s request, I can australia casino vacation’t go into the trader online exact details of what was said at Elsasser’s office. The trader online truth is, however, that online it was pretty similar to what was said in both Nevada and at onlinekasino the state australia casino vacation facility online in New Jersey: there are onlinekasino safeguards in place to regulate gaming machines in all of trader the states with legalized casino gambling. The regulations may differ slightly from state-to-state, but there are onlinekasino programs in place to protect the trader online public when playing in online a regulated jurisdiction.
In the August 1997 issue online of Casino Journal, a respected trade australia casino vacation publication that follows the casino industry, writer Jeff Burbank reported that while a “near-miss" on the payline online is outlawed in Nevada, a "near-miss trader" above or below the payline is perfectly legal in that state.
What Whittemore was referring to here was the "virtual reel “technology used in today’s trader slot onlinekasino machines. At one time online slot machine jackpots were limited by the number of stops online on each reel but that isn't the case anymore.
Pretty onlinekasino confusing, isn’t it? Well, the important thing kasino to online remember here is that although kasino a online "near-miss" is acceptable above or kasino below the payline onlinekasino, it can’t be programmed into the australia casino vacation machine. It is only allowed australia casino vacation when it’s the result online of online a random number generation process that just happens to put those particular results on the reel. If a "near-miss" is australia casino vacation purposely programmed to online appear kasino either above, below, or directly onlinekasino on the payline, then that would be online illegal in any regulated gaming jurisdiction.
