Nevada
it was mostly the
reflex unit.
the fundamental principle of the nevada gaming
rules is independent events. The odds of something happening cannot
change based on previous event...tho I suppose that
blurs somewhat for things like slot machines that build up a bonus.
phil told me the bingo's
on location were grandfathered in, but new locations couldn't be
approved.
based on some material I saw in the warehouse, it appears that phil was trying to get the belgium
people to modify their game rules as part of an application for approval as
well as his opinion of what players here wanted. From the tone of a
letter I saw, I'm guessing that went nowhere.

At one time the bingos were used in Nevada but were discontinued. I think Phil Anderson at
Ace Pins once testified to the gaming commission
about the payout percentages of bingos. For some reason
the bingos were no longer approved.
Do you know if it was the reflex unit or inability
to prove randomness that was the basis for banning the bingos? It would
be a nice addition to the history if the facts were known.
