Laws restricting noncommercial ownership/use of mechanical & digital games of chance

Players sometimes believe that winning on a Class II slot machine is easier than winning on a Class III machine. Class II machines are similar to Class III machines, each machine has a pull handle or touch screens and are relatively the same size. Usually Class II machines are for games such as Bingo and other random. The reason why Class II exists is because originally, Indian casinos were only allowed to offer bingo, including electronic bingo. Modern Class II slot machines look and act just like an RNG slot machine. At least two people must be playing in order for a Class II machine to run (one time I was unable to play because no one else was there).
