That's not the same as having all the floor slots all controlled by a server. And since my last post I have been reading about linked slots. It's complicated for sure. Different states, Indian reservations and statewide or states-wide linking.

The old random number generator controlled machines are all but gone. However, casino wide control by a central computer has its red flags. Apparently the people who control the payout real time are actually capable of reducing a single machine's payout if a whale is playing. That WILL bring trouble from the gaming commision.

And it goes on....

So, I stand corrected that slots are not linked. They are, by groups, by more than one casino, or the state itself. High and low payout limits are changed hourly to weekly.
