  The link you provided states that the technical capability is there, but Nevada has a rule against changing the odds without notifying the player. > "The conventional gaming device or client station must be in the idle mode with no errors or tilts, no play and no credits on the machine for at least 4 minutes. After this time, the conventional gaming device or client station must be disabled and rendered unplayable for at least 4 minutes. During the time the machine is disabled a message must be displayed on a video screen or other appropriate display device notifying the patron that the game configuration has been changed." — Technical Standards for Gaming Devices and On-line Slot Systems 1.140 https://wizardofodds.com/ask-the-wizard/slots/progressives/ https://wizardofodds.com/ask-the-wizard/slots/progressives/ In other states, there may or may not be such a rule.

  Why would you quote anybody but Nevada gaming regulations in an appeal to authority on this question?

    If you know anything about gambling, you will realise wizardofodds is the authority, and likely more trustworthy than the Nevada gaming regs…

  Wizardofodds mentions a specific methodology, which is not the issue. Are odds changed after an idle time? They can be, practically. They can be legally, in NV. https://gaming.nv.gov/modules/showdocument.aspx?documentid=18669 https://gaming.nv.gov/modules/showdocument.aspx?documentid=1... This is not a myth.
