Has it been confirmed that the government requires the handpay?...or is the W2G only what's required?

If the handpay is required, then how can the practices described below legally exist?

Then you can tip whatever you want to at the end. It also makes it quicker when you play because don't have to wait on getting hand pays.

B] Some places, like MGM and Cosmopolitan, have a system where you don't even need a slot attendant to key the machine. When you hit a JP, a thing shows up on screen, you type in your pin and whatnot, then the machine gets unlocked. They'll mail you a copy of W2G's, or you can pick them up at end of your session/day/trip.
