Random Number Generator

What the heck is a Random Number Generator, or a RNG. Well that is the brain or the main component in how a slot machine works. Did you think a slot machine had a set routine that it would spin a ten dollar winner every five spends a twenty dollar every 30 spins and a hundred dollar winner every 100 spins. Did you always hope to play a slot just when the 100 spin would occur. A lot of slot players think that.

Well the RNG is the real machine behind the slot machine. The RNG is the machine that generates numbers and then those numbers translate into symbols. Can one predict the a slot machines RNG will generate….no. The outcome of every spin is based on the message from the RNG. Based on an algorithm, which is a series of steps for generating instructions or in this the case the output is numbers. Still alittle fuzzy lets try this.

Each slot machine has reels and on those reels are symbols. Each reel then works with other reels to produce winners.

Example:

Jackpot prize is three 7’s and only one 7 appears on each reel
Second prize is three Diamonds and only two Diamonds appear on each reel.
Third prize is three bars and only three bars appear on each reel.

Well what remains is a lot of blanks and symbols when together do not mean a prize.

The RNG picks these combinations by reel and randomly a result appears.

Imagine the RNG is a person in the slot machine that randomly picks symbols out of a hat every-time you play. Yup nothing to do with the weather or what you are wearing or how much you bet, the slot machine is really an RNG that looks pretty to attract the player.

So understand if you win that means the RNG selected the combination that appeared. The RNG is always running and generating values and the outcome of every spin on a slot machine is because of the RNG.
