The very first technical standards for slot machines in Nevada are ESD testing to confirm it’s safe for the player and that the integrity of the device is unimpacted by 27kV discharge to any point on the exterior of the machine while it’s being played (and the test labs really go to town finding gaps in panels and really trying to make something bad happen).
Given the absence of mechanical reels and the fact that the components likely to be susceptible to glitching aren’t remotely close to the outside of the machine this isn’t a viable attack method for machines in operation.
