In addition, since slot machines by description are devices with coin slots and hoppers in which winning coins are dropped—and to be Class II, a bingo game could not share the characteristics of a slot machine, which was classified as a Class III device—tribes developed cashless systems and sold those to the public as better than the coin-in, coin-out experience. You will see a small Bingo card image on Class II games. Once the numbers are picked, the slot machine 'spins' the reels and stops them to match up the win amount determined by the pattern on the card. (Note: regular Bingo, including electronic Bingo is technically Class II, but we don't count it as a Slot machine).

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).

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.

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.

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.

Maybe Az. didn't want competition for their scratch off tickets?
Could be Zcore knows something about this?
Thanks for putting this info out, I am going to be in the Phoenix area in the next few weeks.

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.

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.

Gambling has been in the veins of humans since they used to live in caves. Since then gambling has become an obsession and addiction as now it is associated with money. People who want to earn a lot of money in less time take the path of gambling and visit various casinos to test their luck.

The ones who are not able to visit casinos visit various gambling websites such as norkscasinoguide.com for playing online gambling games such as bingo and poker.

In a casino, the most favorite game of most of the visitors is the slot machines which cater some very huge jackpots. Basically, there are 2 different types of slot machines i.e Class II and Class III. Now both of these slot machines are completely different and operate in a very different way. A lot of people play class II and class III machines at various casinos but they never realize the difference between them.

A class III machine which is also known as “ Vegas Style” slots is majorly found in largely regulated markets such as in Las Vegas, Atlantic City, and Reno. These machines work using an RNG or Random Number Generator.

You will be thinking what is an RNG? RNG is a program which generates possible numbers randomly after a person hits the spin button of the slot machine. If we look at the theoretical prospect, a program created by humans cannot be totally random, but an RNG is made such that it goes as close as possible.

Even if the machine is not working thousands and thousands of number are generated in the machine and within split second you hit the spin button the number is randomly generated and presented in the form of certain symbols on the screen. Your win or loss is quickly determined as soon as you hit the button.

One of the significant features of RNG machines is that there is a possibility of hitting a jackpot on every spin. This means that the theory about machines being “due to hit” i.e if you hit a jackpot in one spin then you will not win it on another spin, this is not true. You have a chance of hitting a jackpot in your every spin on a Class III slot machine.

So all this information above was about Class III “Vegas Style” slot machines. But talking about Class II slot machines they are totally different. Class II machines which are known as Virtual Lottery Terminals or VLT’s which are majorly found on Indian gaming reservations and racinos. For those who are not aware of what is racinos, they are places which allow class II slot machines which are attached with live horse track.

Class II machines are basically preprogrammed and this is the reason why there are a lot of misconceptions about these machines.

Class II machines are just like a scratch-off lottery ticket. Its tickets are sold and there are certain numbers which are the winning ticket. Class II slot machines are particularly based on the game of bingo. On a large number of class II slot machines, you will find a little bingo card on its corner. At some places they have class II slot machines because bingo is legal and the regular slot machines are not. This is why manufacturers built class II slot machines. For people who are video poker players, it is advisable that they avoid playing class II machines. You should go for playing on an RNG machine because it totally eradicates every possibility of any type of conspiracy as it is completely random.
