Introduction to Washington Slot Machine Casino Gambling in 2020. Washington slot machine casino gambling consists of 31 tribal casinos with a unique type of electronic player terminal based on scratch tickets controlled by a state-wide Tribal Lottery System (TLS). All state-tribal compacts set a minimum theoretical payout limit. Classes of gambling range from Class 1, representing low-stake, low-risk gambling, to Class 4, which represents high-risk, high-turnover gambling. Casino operations and lotteries run by the New Zealand Lotteries Commission are treated as separate classes within the Act. The Act also defines Private Gambling. Class 1 and 2 Gambling; Class 3 Gambling. Class III: a catch-all category of games that can’t be considered Class I or II, like slots, roulette, blackjack, etc. Knowing the hurdles Native American casinos faced to allow Class III slots, gaming companies began developing Class II gaming machines: games that play like regular slots but are technically fancy versions of bingo.

I think the biggest difference comes in the user-determined features. Like a bonus where you select 1 of 3 symbols to determine your prize. On a class III machine, you really can get any one of the three prizes. On a class II machine, you WILL get the pre-determined prize.
I've often wondered about that...
My freeplay comes in the form of a 'match two amounts' and is always between $175-$1000...in the many years I've been getting it, I've NEVER got more than $175...(and I get it twice a month)

That would be both interesting and, alas, thoroughly irrelevant. Sorry. See, in both cases the machines ultimately will pay back a certain percentage on average, regardless of the specifics peculiar to each class. Also, you can't tell the difference.Where it makes a difference is in VP. In a mahcine where you really play, the payback is a function of the pay table and the player's skill (memorizing a strategy table is a skill). ON one of the rpedetermined machines, how you play doesn't matter.
So on regular slot machines it is irrelevant of they are Class II or III, but it does matter in VP?
Yes, on class II machines VP strategy is worthless. You can hold on to garbage, and either a 'genie' will convert your hand to what you were supposed to win or a 'match card' will award what you were supposed to win. When playing these machines in Alabama (a class II jurisdiction) for tiny amounts of money, I would intentionally hold garbage to make the 'genie' appear...lol
Also the only slot jackpot I've won is on a class II machine (Texas Tea for $200). I hit some random bingo pattern where I needed ~22 hits in like 48 calls or something. The result appeared as 5 Texas Tea symbols like it would on a class III machine. If one had the math skills/inclination, he or she would be able to calculate the payback of the machine as it listed all the bingo patterns it would pay out.

Many of the bingo-based games actually have a little digital bingo board displayed. You really can watch it play a little 1-second-long bingo game to determine if any winning combinations are present. It's pretty snarky, really:-)Many of the bingo-based games actually have a little digital bingo board displayed.

Yeah, and at the casino I was at, you also were allowed to change your bingo card between spins. I always picked one with 69 in the corner...lol
I understand that a Class II machine differs from a Class III machine in that the Class II acts like a bingo game and when you push the button the outcome is determined and the the reels and outcome is just for show. A Class III machine has a RNG instead. However, isn't the outcome of the Class III also determined the minute you push the button and whatever comes up is the outcome from whatever numbers came from the RNG when it was pushed? I just don't see much of a difference unless I am totally missing something(which is entirely possible!) Also, are all electronic table games classified as Class III machines?

Not necessarily. Here's the relevant law:

There have been many cases decided on what games are/are not class II. The NIGC has a whole list of them. Read those for a clearer picture.

The answer is simple -- if you play a class II video poker device, and you threw away a dealt quad (or RF), you will STILL end up winning on that specific hand, and based on posts on this website, your winnings is comparable or the same via a bonus card or a genie as the original dealt hand. That is to say if your bingo card (or pull tab) was destined to win, you will WIN no matter what you do on the flop.
Try that on a Class III machine. If you threw away a dealt quad, you just urinated away a huge winning hand!
Think of a Class II machine game like a pull tab. The outcome on the pull tab is immutable. Image everytime you hit the spin button on a Class II device, it is akin to buying a pull-tab with replacement as if the pool of pull-tab is a constant. (With physical pull-tabs, it is done without replacement.) The randomness aspect is picking a winning combination out of the fixed pool of pull tabs.
