Higher-denomination machines return a higher percentage of wagers to bettors than do lower-denomination machines. As for your other questions, there is a variety of reasons players choose low-denomination games - especially pennies, nowadays - instead of the higher-paying dollar-and-up machines.

(© Tomasz Zajda – stock.adobe.com)Slots machine games are simple and fun to play. While it is a game of chance, there are certain steps you can take to improve your chances of winning huge jackpots.
If you follow the tips below, you’ll have as much chance of winning money at slot machines as anyone else.
Play Higher Denominations
To increase your chance of hitting a winning combo, always play slots that offer higher denomination bets.
You are more likely to get a payout from higher denomination slots than their lower counterparts. Payback percentages of slot machine games are dependent on the price of a spin or the denomination of the bet.
The payback percentage increases with a rise in the bet denomination. That means you have a better chance of winning money by playing higher values.
Check Out the Paytable
Each slot machine has a unique paytable, where you can see what each symbol is worth. You’ll be able to identify which symbols offer the most money. The paytable will also tell you whether the game you want to play has wild symbols and scatters.
Choose Simpler Slot Machines
When you visit an online casino like 918Kiss, you’ll find some slot machines that have a lot of exciting features and others that are more straightforward.
If your main goal is to make money playing slots, consider choosing the simpler slot machines. While these games are less colourful or entertaining, it usually pays out more rewards.
Take Advantage of Bonuses and Rewards
Many online casinos, including 918kiss, offer special benefits and rewards to attract more players. Make sure you take advantage of these benefits to improve your winning chances.
Some casinos provide slot cards. These cards track how often you play and reward you with special offers, including cashback opportunities. You don’t pay a dime for the slot cards, but the bonuses can be valuable.
Coins Don’t Matter
Some people that claim to be slot experts will tell you that wagering more coins on a spin can increase your edge over the house. The truth is that any extra coins you wager will only increase the amount of any payout you win. It won’t improve your advantage over the house.
Avoid Progressive Slots
While progressive slot machines boast life-changing prizes, the odds are unimpressive. The money for the progressive jackpot is simply a part of the funds normally paid to players.
Casinos don’t spend their own money when they can avoid it. The jackpot money comes from the losing spins on the slot machines. The bigger the jackpot, the higher the number of losers.
Instead of playing progressive slots, look for slot machines with moderate jackpots and plenty of mid-value prizes.
Beware of Your Emotions
Slots are fun to play, but you should always know when to stop. You should gamble only cash you can afford to lose.
When you’ve used up the cash you had budgeted for, stop playing. Don’t be tempted to continue playing when emotions are running high.
Follow these tips and watch your slot experience soar.

For instance if I were progamming craps I would use something like
firstdie = FLOOR(6*randomnumber()+1);
seconddie = FLOOR(6*randomnumber()+1);
thisroll=firstdie+seconddie;
Techncally this isn't perfect as there are 2^32 (or 2^64 etc.) possible random numbers and that isn't exactly divisible by 6, so some die rolls are very slightly more likely than others. But for practical reasons it isn't worth worrying about.
It would be upto the program to determine how to vary the odds, for instance by paying less for a feature for a lower House Edge or, where applicable e.g. UK pubs, adding compensating logic to prevent multiple large wins.
I believe there are rules in some places that the RNG has to be called continuously, presumably as a background task, so the result for when the spin happens cannot be easily guessed.
I've read often here that each reel in the slot is controlled by random generation. My question is, is it the same random generator regardless of the denomination selected, or are there different generators set with different odds for each available denomination?
Your real question is can the odds of each symbol appearing be different for different denominations. In theory they can. In practice, I don't know if it's common for different denominations to have different reel mappings.
One machine I play has betting levels of 45, 90 and 135. At 45 coins, only certain symbols win. Line up three gold 7s betting minimum and you get nothing. Same results with a max bet wins . So the payout for max coins is much better than minimum, even though it's all controlled by a single generator.

Yes it is.

I'm asking rather than researching because you might immediately know the answer, and if you do, thank you in advance!
Isn't there something in Nevada law that states that there is a maximum permitted difference in return percentage, on a specific machine, when switching from one bet/denomination to the other? I seem to remember reading something to that effect, but don't specifically recall it.

I don't know of a rule specifically against it but the Gaming Enforcement requires casinos to handle the audit and reporting differently if the spread is over 4%.

Thanks! That must have been what was referenced, but I misunderstood the implications of it.
