In slots, you don’t need a specific bill or coin to have a specific denomination, but similar to having a single bill or coin as a unit for denomination, on a slot it refers to how much one credit has in value. Penny slots are easy – each credit is worth a penny, and so 100 credits equal a dollar. Slot machines have denominations ($0.01, $0.25, $1, $5, $10, etc.) and the maximum credits that can be placed in a single bet.

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.

Many machines have different reel strips depeding on the wager. It is very common.

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.
