<<that being a lack of randomness in the cards the machine dealt. >>

Were you playing video poker? Legal here for fun but not for gambling, ie the guy has the bartender check the machine and get paid for the games won.

A guy in Springfield was running a bunch of those in bars with the pay back and hired several others in other towns to extend his area. He got busted and the guy who did his Bloomington area and his wife who kept the books got called in front of the Federal Grand Jury. That night in the bar it was we snowed that jury. Ate it up hook, line and sinker. Harharhoho. So tickled it was like they robbed Fort Knox and had feathers up their butts.

Six months later the Feds cuffed them for lying to the jury. Looking at 5 years and $500,000 fines each the ha ha went out of the situation.
