The denomination restriction is not expected to affect casino implementations of these themes,
as most operators configure either single denominations or a range of similar denominations.
The denomination restriction ins required to address the potential for multiple progressive wins
with a single spin. Since the strike price for the progressive is scaled based on the lowest
configured denomination, and the player’s contribution increases at larger denominations, it is
possible that a player may win an excessive number of progressives on a single spin without the
restriction.
