If Nevada Law requires VP machine manufacturers to Certify random deal in all jurisdictions where the machine is sold (not just Nevada) to obtain licensing in Nevada....then the Multi-Game Machines are probably random deals even if the RNG is by central computer and not self-contained in each machine. However, even with 400 coin SF, Multi- Game is still less than 100% ER.

Per Nevada regulations cited above, DOES random deal mean "based upon a 52 card deck"? I have read the VLT articles by Linda Boyd and Dan Paymar but still have my doubts.

Bally's Machines look and feel entirely different from Nevada and Atlantic City and may be Pull Tab or Bingo variety. If a random deal, then the 10/9/7 Double Bonus is better than 100.18% ER (FP plus 5000 coin RF plus Match Bonus.

Note that Match Bonus applies to max coin bet of 5 coins not 6 coin bets like STP.
