Yes, I do know that Players are definitely better off in playing in well regulated areas of the country/world since that will make it much less likely that a machine could be monkeyed around with. Otherwise, the Player could be taking another Crap Shoot on top of the one they are taking for playing.
I do think though that with the bigger, better well-known manufacturers (IGT, Game-King and Ballys that initially come out of Nevada), it is much less likely that anything will have been monkeyed around with.
The biggest question really with all of this is what are the pay schedules of these games and how well (or poorly) are people playing these games and are they playing them with Full-Coin in at all times? I'm saying this because I think that it can be possibly even a lot harder to end up with being able to play enough to hit a Royal Flush when the return that is being offered is way too low (if the pay scheules are offering rotten returns).
And so between their being lower returns, possibly higher Variance games being offered and possibly also the lower playing accuracy of players who are playing this stuff, that combination may help there being less Royal Flushes than in other locations where there are better games.
Now as for that American Coin story, for anyone who is interested in learning more about it, A&E Television (I think that it has also been shown on The History Channel) had a series several years ago called "City Confidential" and this show had an episode called "Las Vegas: Deadly Jackpot" about this incident and so keep your eyes out for it or it can very possibly be bought online through their online store which I think is at https://www.aetv.com .
I should also say that I don't know that the TV show made clear who the maker of those machines at that time were -- it could have been American Coin and not IGT or Gameking or Bally's.
