I know about this, as I had a computer aided scheme to beat roulette (I've written about the historical ways of doing this, the first one was developed by Shannon and Thorp). I think the law was passed to prevent use of blackjack computers which were being sold around that time. Best bet would have been the European countries, who largely don't have such laws. I'm assuming the Russians didn't find as many of the vulnerable slot machines there.
Funny the article gave independent confirmation of about how much you could take out of a casino without them noticing; an important number if you ever develop a scheme.
