Examples Of Class Iii Slot Machines

Classic Slot Games: For the nostalgic veterans who enjoy the traditional casino-style games, we supply over 400 3-reel free slots no download games and two-dimensional machines. They are usually not abundant with bonuses, but they are easy to use as they consist of a few lines and rows. Zoltar is a Class III wide-area progressive game from Everi. Konami’s family of Fortune Mint progressive games was developed for its KX 43 cabinet. Cutting-edge progressive jackpot technology is sparking a slot machine evolution on brick-and-mortar gaming floors across the U.S. And around the world.

The class II systems can be programmed to replicate the payout combinations and rates of any class III machine. Just like there are certain odds of any one winning combination hitting on a class III slot machine, there are certain odds of any winning combination occuring in a bingo game.

Shamrock7’s™ Video Poker by Vision Gaming & Technology is one of the most popular casino video card games that players will find in many Indian (Tribal Gaming) Casinos around the USA.

At one of the local Tribal Gaming Casinos we visit from time to time, it’s actually sometimes hard to find a seat on one of these Pot O’ Gold machines that offers the Shamrock7’s Card Game, mainly because of the game’s high popularity!

This game is most definitely one of the most popular Video Card Games that has ever been placed on a casino floor!

The Shamrock 7’s Game offers a paytable that’s similar in payouts to other video poker card games. The only real drawback is that a “Two-Pair Hand and Three-Of-A-Kind” hand only offer your initial bet back on the smaller denomination machines. On those machines you’ll need to hit at least “A Straight” in order to make a little on your bet amount. On the larger denomination machines the Three-Of-A-Kind Hand will double your Bet Amount back.

Now, one of the fun and interesting aspects of this game is when you hit three or more 7’s for the “Pots-O-Gold Bonus Round”.

Once you hit at least 3-7’s the screen will change to the bonus round screen where the player will get to choose one Pot O’ Gold from the three Pot’s offered. If you choose the right Pot you can win up to 30X your bet amount in this bonus round! You can see a few examples of this bonus round in the YouTube Video we’ve posted below.

Most if not all of these Pot O’ Gold Games are networked into other machines within the same bank of machines, up to 32 machines can be networked into each other.

This is the main reason that the “Shamrock7’s Progressive Jackpot” climbs so fast in value! Once a player hits 5-of-a-kind on one of the machines, the progressive jackpot amount is won and all of the machines in that bank are then automatically re-set to the benchmark seed amount.

I am a frequent player at Casino Arizona Talking Stick Resort. I have been playing slots @TSR for about a year. I did well during 4th quarter of '14. I starter to almost recognize a for sure losing machine pretty quickly. Sadly, can not recognize the winners at all =)
This casinos slots seem to be pretty 'tight' and love to 'tease'. I have read so much about slots in the last year that i keep playing at TSR KNOWING it is just luck.... until i came across(10minutes ago) an article that talks of class 2 slots not being so random! Which would make a lot of sense why i just witnessed a woman drop 5500.00 on a .50 keno machine and won less than 100.
HOW CAN I DETERMINE if my casino is using class 2 or class 3 or a combination of both? Who do i ask? What do i look for?

I would ask at the rewards center/player's club. They should tell you (they tell me when I ask in a new state/jurisdiction). It's usually not up to the casino; it's up to the state or other regulatory authority's compact with the state. This is a good article on how it works in general; it's a federal law that governs the terms of what the NA casinos are allowed to offer and what the states have to let them do, but it's still negotiated state by state. The rule of thumb is, if a class of gaming is allowed anywhere in the state for any purpose, the NA casinos can offer the same class of games. Class II are player-banked, with the casino taking some kind of rake. Class III allows casinos to offer house-banked games. That's just a very simple explanation, but the Class is considered public information, so they should tell you if you ask.
Edit: This is a gov't-issued blank compact application that defines and includes Class I, II, and III gaming for the state of AZ, so I guess it depends on what level the tribe wants to offer/qualify for there.
teddys did a pretty good review on Phoenix-area casinos, and specifically mentioned that they can offer Class II and Class III gaming (though no true craps or roulette). Doesn't mean the Talking Stick doesn't have a mix of II and III slots, but it's a start to know that much.
It's been my experience that Class II slots MUST in some way display a link or reference to the bingo game they're based on, even if it's a really small icon or something. The machine probably shows it somewhere in the instructions/pays button as well (that most people don't use).
If the House lost every hand, they wouldn't deal the game.

I agree. A class II slot should have a little bingo card in the corner of the screen. Often there is a button that says 'daub' instead of 'spin.' If you have any doubt, it is probably class III.
It's not whether you win or lose; it's whether or not you had a good bet.

What do i look for?


Does the 'play' button say 'play', or 'play/daub'?
If you scroll through all (and I do mean ALL) the help and paytable displays, does it list a bingo paytable?
Does the front of the place mention that it's a 'Class II gaming facility'?
Does the machine have a display of a bingo card on it? (Sometimes - particularly on the 'keno' machines, it's mostly hidden - I've seen it on the topmost video screen, up by the slot-topper blinking light sign)
Is there a sticker on the machine that says (something like) 'Prizes awarded based on bingo play'?
... so then, it might be Class III.
... And ask at the player's club booth if they have any Class II machines, and how you'd tell the difference.
I've played both Class III and Class II machines; they're both vaguely similar in that you stick money in, whack the button, and maybe get some money back. My subjective observations say that Class II behaves quite differently as the number of other players changes; sometimes better, sometimes not.
May the cards fall in your favor.

https://gaming.az.gov/sites/default/files/documents/files/2014%20Annual%20Report%20FINAL.pdf
Page 24 indicates that the casinos have operated Class III gaming since 1993, when the first compact went into effect. All casinos wishing to offer Class III Gaming must have a compact with the State of Arizona, and the Casino Nevada and Talking Stick Resort is run by the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community, who have such a compact.
There are sixteen tribes with casinos and six tribes that do not have casinos, but have slot machine rights that can be leased to other tribes, only the Hopi tribe does not have a compact.
In fact, the Pima-Maricopa Indian Community (see pages 24 & 25) had, perhaps, the hardest battle to finally get a compact. It spanned multiple lawsuits, a general election initiative (Pima-Maricopa was successful) and then even more lawsuits over a ridiculous span of three years. I'm sure there was a reason that Arizona made it so difficult for this tribe, but don't care enough to look further into it, and ultimately, the reason must have been ridiculous because the State was eventually forced to negotiate a compact with them.
Moreover, State of Arizona law, pursuant to the compacts, dictates minimum theoretical payouts for slot machines at 80%, video poker at 83% and keno at 75%. (See Link 1)
Although BBB's link does allow for both Class II and Class III machines, I've called the casino and they've not called back, yet. I'll try again tomorrow.

Maybe Az. didn't want competition for their scratch off tickets?
Could be Zcore knows something about this?

l i came across(10minutes ago) an article that talks of class 2 slots not being so random!


that exclamation point suggests the article would have you believe class 2 is better. That is the opposite of the usual opinion, so I would take what it says with a grain of salt.
I suppose it is possible there are times, depending on number of players, when class II treats you as well or even better. The one thing you can say for sure is that it is idiotic to think you are playing a game of skill like video poker only to realize you are playing on a class II. Players dislike that for sure.
I wouldn't mind seeing that article if it is a link you can post.

In Washington State, all slot-like machines are Class II, but may be based on bingo (where the button says 'daub' and a bingo board appears in the corner of the screen) or on pull tabs (which are deceptively indistinguishable from real slot machines).

As far as I know every slot in Casino Arizona is Class III. Same as at my Casino. The Compact does allow for some minimal use of Class II slots, but I don't know of any Tribe that is using them.

If you are looking for a better gamble and would like to get comps I would highly recommend you keep driving east of Talking Stick to Fort Mcdowell, the games are much looser and they are far more generous with comps.
