Variable Equipment Module, a Patent owned by the CEO of WGT that allows modification to the physics of the equipment to impact play and can be applied at any time to anyone under any conditions. According to WGT it is applied unilateraly across the board and as your playing skills advance to higher tiers/lower averages it is applied even more. It is, however never applied to only a particular player to impact their game at hand. There are some that argue that WGT has singled them out and keeps them from scoring in a tournament by applying VEM, but according to WGT that does not happen, nor has it ever happend, not will it ever happen.
Interesting Patent to read but only an attorney who also has incredible skills as a programmer could ever interpret its true meaning.
AT least, THIS is my understanding of VEM
I Knew what VEM meant, but a patent...wow, Interesting stuff. Learn something new everyday Thks :)
