I have heard rumors of one RNG timing attack.
I have no direct information about it.
The attack required methods which were in violation of device laws.
As for anecdotal reports from slot players, please assume that their conclusions are erroneous. I don't think time of day or day of week plays a factor.
I can believe that point multiplier days draw in more slot players at once, and someone is likely to hit a payout (think of the monkeys with typewriters eventually producing Shakespeare), but that doesn't mean you are more likely to.
I don't find myself breaking up a 3 of a kind to try for a Royal for some reason.

Hmmmm...

Also, what if putting a very large amount of credits into the machine gets you marked as a whale and improves your RNG? There are many crooked things in online gaming which would be trivial to implement in VP.
Quote: rektfastNow that is an interesting observation and part of the reason I think mathematically "optimal" play is not correct. Perhaps the last card is still in RAM and influences the RNG. Someone used savestates on old video poker ROMs and noticed that the cards dealt are, in fact, different if you rewind and draw again. So the outcome is not predetermined but actually different every attempt.

Nevada gaming laws require the RNG to be running at all times with the decision made at the time button is hit. That's for the deal and the draw. No cards are held in the RAM.
With VP you could be 40,000 credits behind before you see your first Royal 4,000 credit win. You'll need another nine Royals to catch up and some of those are already baked into the HA.
