Actually the number is quite possibly 4294967296 (2^32). Maybe a little less if the randomization is sufficiently limited as to generate exact duplicates with the same seed. If a single seed is used, then all aspects of the game are dependent on this single number, which is 32 bits wides, typically. If multiple seeds are used, then the number of combinations would be 2^(32*n), where n is the number of different seeds.
