Silicon Gaming Odyssey Slot Machine
Is that the law in Nevada ? For New Jersey I could find no such law you are just limited to 'Slot machines shall not offer a play with odds greater than 100 million to 1'
A Proposed Typology Of Odyssey Slot Machine Gamblers During the time of this study, a large Las Vegas Strip casino (Casino), in stalled a bank of 12 Odyssey slot machines in a high traffic area as a test (Figure 1 shows the configuration of the Odyssey slot machines).

Silicon Gaming's Odyssey slot machine is a PC-based box with a 26-inch screen that offers players up to six different touch-select games in vibrant, three-dimensional graphics. Pascal boasts that.
This is not the first time I have heard this 'law' mentioned here. The closest I can find to this in either the Revised Statutes or the Gaming Regulations is, a slot machine can have a jackpot with odds of 100 million-1 or higher of hitting it, but if it does, then the odds of hitting it must appear on the machine. Pardon my Latin, but while there may be a de facto (i.e for all intents and purposes) limit of 100 million to 1, it is not de jure (i.e. a legal requirement).
I thought it was that multi-line slots had reels where each symbol had an equal weight (otherwise different lines would have different EVs), whether electronic or mechanical. Then again, do any one-line-only electronic (i.e. video) slots even exist, other than computer/online emulators of existing mechanical machines?
Yes, every multi-line game I've ever done (or seen par sheets for) has equally-weighted stops for exactly that reason. But some early single line video slots had weighted reels. Silicon Gaming had several: Arabian Riches, Banana-Rama, Silver Belle Express, Buccaneer's Gold, etc.This is not the first time I have heard this 'law' mentioned here.

I can't find it either now; maybe they ditched it. Nevada used to be a 'de facto' 1 in 100 million. NJ and MS are 1 in 100M. Many Midwest riverboat states are 1 in 50M and GLI-11 recommends maxing out at 1 in 50M.This is not the first time I have heard this 'law' mentioned here.

It's in the separate Technical Standards for Gaming Devices and Associated Equipment, Standard 2.070:
'If the odds of hitting any advertised jackpot that is offered by a gaming device exceeds 100 million to one, the odds of the advertised jackpot must be prominently displayed on the award glass or video display.'

Odyssey multi game slot/VP machines were fairly innovative. IMO they were better than anything IGT had at the time. If I was going to purchase a slot machine I would probably go for one of them.Did they get bought out by IGT?
Arizona Charlie's had a bank of .25 4play FPJW along with some drawings and other small promotions. That was a Fun play. Here's the machine in action including the infamous Vacation USA bonus slot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ox8jk--dZaM

Does anyone remember Hot Reels multi-line slots you held symbols and drew. They were set over 100% and very fun as well. (they lacked a bonus round). Great for comps and mail, of course free play wasn't mainstream like it is nowadays. Usually you just got cash vouchers.
I'm not sure if Silicon made them or not. I can't find any information on them.

Good catch. Their organization is strange I didn't think to look in that standard.

Neither did I, I knew I saw it somewhere before though. Thanks ThatDonGuy.

The 'obvious' answer is, a power of 2 is used as most RNGs generate a number in the range of a power of 2 (if there are 5 reels, a number from 0 to 230-1 is generated; this is five 6-bit (i.e. 0 to 31) numbers, one for each reel).
Correct. I picked 32 because it is a power of 2, which is also what random number generators are based on. Programming habit.
