Of course it can be beaten ... handsomely. Unless, of course, you are cheated, which I would say would be almost a certainty.

I did a short sim 250,000,000 hands with CV Data $1 Unit, 200 hands per hour, bettin $1 on TC < 2, $4 on 2 <= TC < 3,
$8 on 3 <= TC < 4 and $10 on TC >= 4.
The result is a win of $3.96 per hour.
I a MACHINE likely to CHEAT?

A machine will do whatever it is programmed to do.
I am assuming that this machine is in a Las Vegas Casino. Will a casino risk its license by programming a machine to cheat? I think not.

Why would you scale your bets? This isn't a live game, where they're watching your play. You bet $1 when you don't have the edge and $10 when you do.

1. Are my saaumption, i.e. that this machine is in a Vegas casino and that a casino operator would not risk its license by programming a blackjack machine to cheat valid?
2. Shouldn't one bet in some proportion to one's advantage, .i.e bet 10 units with a big advantage, not with a smaller advantage?

A quick web search turns up the Australian company's web site and a pdf with all of the info on the machine, including rules. I guarantee this machine has not hit Vegas yet; it's a 5-seat player to one video screen dealer type of thing and I've never seen it. Kind of like BJ Blitz, if you've seen that.
Their website says they've made sales in Las Vegas, but it looks like only to Harrah's and only their "Rapid Roulette" game. They haven't established a US sales force yet, but are currently distributed in the States by ShuffleMaster. For more information, go to the company site below and click on the "International" link.

And the casino used to cheat on slot machines.
I withdraw my assumption. My question as to whether one who plays such machine, where he will not be cheated, should simply bet 1 when EV is negative and 10 when EV is positive, or, should bet in proportion to his positive EV remains, i.e. whether lack of heat suggests betting the same maximum 10 units on High-Low TCs of 2 and 10+?
On most video blackjack the game will state that blackjack pays "2-to-1", but that really means a 1-to-1 payoff because you invest 1 coin for the pull. My guess is that this is the source of their edge (and you missed it).
Any video slot that operates like a known "card game" must give the true odds for each card appearing, the game cannot be fixed by the manufacturer (same with slots that roll dice or spin a simulated roulette wheel).
