This is why I suggested that an independent third party such as Consumers Union (Consumer Reports Magazine) or the Federal Trade Commission or the Attorney General or someone other than "Rob Singer, video poker author and expert player" conduct their own test on multiple machines in laboratory conditions.

You might have absolute proof, but the fact that it comes from one machine, tested at home, will not convince anyone. You might "have something" but at this point it is not evidence that anyone could use to "start the ball rolling."

By the way, I did send a message to Consumers Union suggesting an investigation into this and I did not get a response.

Again Alan, the exercise with the machine was done only to prove it out to myself. Please read my reply to Vic. I was never interested in trying to convince the world about my discovery. There's quite a few players in vp that trust what I say because they understand I've been telling them the truth about my strategy and advantage play for many years. That's good enough. No governmental agency, casino manager, or machine manufacturer would ever be interested in seeing any of this or having the vp community see it, because it's bad news for business. That's my reading after the NGC snub. I do, however, agree with your assessment that the fact that there's one machine out there that tests out as such, does not mean they're all like that and it wouldnt't mean a whole lot overall. I do prefer to believe they're all less than 100% random.
