Law/regulation says you win by bingo not by the 'alternative
presentation'. 

So if the alternative is a Blackjack video table you will win or lose
based on Bingo no matter what the player does.

So if the alternative is the reels we theoretically wouldn't have to pay
out on the cases where the problem is BUT the casinos pay anyway and
bill us.

Casino gaming is one of the most heavily regulated industries out there.
And despite reputation one of the most honest.  Well they imply you
might win.  You might.  But in the long run eventually you lose if you
keep playing.  On average the Casinos win.  Slots in Vegas are by law
required to pay out at least 75% but in general if you stay away from
the gas stations the pay out is always some 94-99%.
