Can class II machines hold state/equity? I recently saw a post on another forum where the person claims class 2 machines can have advantages. Mickey told me that Neptune game with the 10 stars isn't a play. I didn't think so either. The 10 diamond aspect of it never leads to a bonus mode where you win more than a small multiplier of the bet. It could easily just be graphical dressing on the experience. I've always assumed class II machines were all like this.
However, once you diverge from the 1 spin = 1 bingo card then seems like the whole class II thing becomes moot. The post in question talked about a new Scarab game which I believe I played is class II. I've also noticed that some other modern machine was a class II machine and so I didn't play it but I don't recall the details.
Anyone have any thoughts on this? I guess the whole bingo thing is just a software switch likely .. but.. it just doesn't add up. Why mess with class II machines if they're not required? I became accustomed to them because I believe they're a holdover from some time ago when they were required that that casino.
It'd also make sense that "class-II' machines don't need to behave like class-II machines in all locales but then why mess with it at all?
