(a) Gaming devices that may be affected by player skill must meet this standard when using a
method of play that will provide the greatest return to the player over a period of continuous play.

This can be found in the gaming commission document about slot regulations

or visit NEVADA GAMING COMMISSION and STATE GAMING CONTROL BOARD Gaming Statutes and Regulations web page

In the environment of regulated casinos; you can find almost everything out on the web. I often like to see the drop for various table games and the win by the casinos (which can be found broken down by game).

I'm dumbfounded by this conspiracy theory, but it did pique my curiosity. I understand that the Gaming Board regulates that the slots must be run by the RNG. So, does anyone know what the minimum legal payout % is for RNG in Nevada as set by the Gaming Board?

The minimum is 75%, but if you are going to play slots, you're better off going to machines that guarantee a higher payout. I've seen plenty in good casinos marked at 99%. The Nevada Gaming Commission requires them to actually have the payout that they advertise (though I forget the specific rules on whether they can say 99% on top of a carousel but only have one machine at that payout - so you should look for ones that are individually marked).
