Weird replacement card results for VP?

Jerry, if casinos were indeed cheating, they would be offering much better games to us and then using the cheat to take our money:

- In blackjack, all games would be the 0.16% HE, except the casino would remove a couple of 10s from the shoe.
- In roulette, get rid of the 00, but set the ball up to land on the single zero more often.
- In Craps, weigh the dice for more seven outs then offer a free promotion for the Fire Bet.
- In Video Poker, why not offer full pay tables for all games, but simply vary the RNG to cheat or return the same losing card.

People are dumb enough to play non-full pay tables, even when there is a better game at the next machine. Slots are easier to program to cheat.

I'll only address vp machines because that's mainly what I play. Like I mentioned, I'm not sure there's gaffing going on or if what's happening is according to internal memos between the regulatory authority/casinos/gaming manufacturers. All I can say is if I were to bet with a doubter that SOMETHING other than what we gamblers believe is common knowledge is going on, I believe I'd win that bet. As you probably know, it would take a very miniscule programming command in the code to make a 100% random selection of cards a <100% overall event. Is it legal? Based on what the state shows us, no. But is it within some allowable margin of error that we do not see? Heaven only knows. But whatever it is it's enough to keep me playing (:

I remember when there were many many full pay vp games in the 90's. They've been going away of course and still continue to do so. I've played enough to know that no one can really beat those things at any pay table, especially the ones that are touted as being over 100% by a very insignificant amount. So why are they going the route of the dinosaurs when they shouldn't be? I believe it's greedy management, which is stupid management. These dummies can't see that more players mean more profit, and better pay tables get more players.
