In established casinos, there are far more of those than there are "new" ones. Go ahead and research it like kew tries to give the perception he would do. I do it all the time because I'm looking for certain age machines.

Asking DTG helps but it's doubtful any 2013 employees are still there. I just called and two casino supervisors said they had no idea.

LOL. Yeah, "all casinos LEASE machines for long periods of time." Yeah, let's examine that statement. First of all, we're talking video poker, not all machines. But to give certain people a break, let's say we're talking all machines. According to Global Gaming Business magazine, 85% of domestic slot machines are owned by casinos and 15% are leased, as of 2018. Video poker is more one-sided.
Correct. All vp machines are leased, which makes perfect business sense. That's why all old VP machines go back to the manufacturer for selling to distributors.

So now let's get back to the original question prior to you, kew, and fellow hater mcap coming apart at the seams again. Did anyone check to see if the DU issue was in any of the machines there?
I have rarely read a more incorrect couple of lines. For the purposes of categorization, video poker is considered a "slot machine." So 85% of domestic slot machines are owned by the casinos.
