How does the Technology Work?

[StaceyLee]

Hi everyone,
Forgive the computer illiteracy but can someone explain just how the technology works? For example if I logged into say 3Dice played 50 spins on roulette then logged out, when I log back in and play another 50 spins does it continue from where I left off or is it a new start?
Cheers.

If any game is truly random isn't supposed to have a "continue" or a "left off."

That would be like asking if a dice continues where you left off when you stop rolling for an hour.

Is it weird everytime I read your name I start humming "Stagger Lee?"

from all that i have read every spin is supposed to be independent from the one
or all before it supplied buy a random number generator

now on some if not many you may log on to find the reels of your favorite game parked exactly as you left them also if you were to leave in a rush before starting your free spins they would also be there for you to Cary on

if any one can add to this please do

I e-mailed ECOGRA with some questions about RNG's specifically if they are RTP based or truly random. I'm not holding my breath on getting an answer but it's worth a shot because nobody is being transparent on this issue.

With regard's to your question Stacey lee, The machine is supposed to continue generating numbers, with a slot it's supposed to be like 200 a second. with roulette the sequence is "pseudo random" meaning the numbers have already been generated in a big long sequence and when you log in you are taken to a specific point in that sequence to start your session.

Meet me in the ballroom later. We'll talk about it.

When I was playing at an MG last winter I would actually see my credits jump up for a split second before the reels stopped. The amount they jumped up was the amount won at the conclusion of the spin.

Sorry, but I have to say, "citation needed" on this one.

Don't use big words you'll confuse me (citation needed) I assume you want to know more, well here's a link to wikipedia

Basically a computer needs to be told what to do and there's only so much you can tell it to do. Don't worry the string of numbers is so long you'll never see it repeat. Any computer generated RNG is pseudo random. At least that's what I understand.

While supposedly random, the 'left over' status could still apply if played slots and got a feature before you logged off.

DAMN! I can't find the info that greatly explains the process of your logging in taking you to a specific area in a sequence already determined by a seed number, as opposed to your logging in action generating a seed number and thus a sequence of numbers, or your action (pressing spin) activating a seed number and sequence after each and every spin.
Here's another link that's informative though,

With regards to reels still showing exact spot etc. it doesn't matter, it's the same as leaving a slot in a B/M and coming back to it, your action of pulling the lever is what triggers your entry point. all the while on a slot the internal chip has generated tremendous strings of numbers, it never stops, even though it doesn't move the reels on the machine.

But apparently it's supposed to be different for roulette, The seed is placed , the numbers generated, and your entry time or other action takes you to a point in that sequence.

It makes sense because it would require alot less memory to run the program
when I find the reference I'll let you know.

Hiya; I do not know the answer, but i do know this, "It does not matter". I have played 333 spins in a row, and played the same broken down into set of 111 each, and played the same broken down into 37 spins each.

At the end, the total of how many different numbers hit more than others vs numbers that hit less than others, is always apx. the same. Meaning if you played 37 spins, log out, and play 37 spins tomorrow, and log out, and play 37 spins next week, there is NO difference in doing that vs playing 111 spins in a row.

As a note, Going back n forth between playing in Fun mode, then playing in Real $ mode, also makes no difference, as you end up with the same type of results.

Thanks for the research Roulette Guy. Cheers Winalot

Love to find the ballroom Skiny .... just don't have time while I busy going cross-eyed punching numbers.

Each spin is supposedly independant from another and has no bearing on previous results - I agree to an extent. Each spin is independant of the next within a cycle. Previous results within a cycle influence the current result and all future results within that cycle.

In essence what im trying to say is: Slots are Random to an extent. They are Random in the cycle that they are in. The Top award (lets say 777) is only allocated once in that cycle. Other variations of that top award (that are equal to the top award) also appear once each in that cycle (7*Wild*Wild or Wild*7*Wild ...etc).

The results of previous wins do ofcourse have bearing on future results. Each hit has many variations and you will randomly hit a combination of that variation within your game play, but within a cycle.

If you are lucky to be playing and hit the top award in the 1st cycle and hit exactly the same combination a few spins later - id assume that you were in a new cycle.

There is no possibility of the Top award paying multiple times (unless they are variations of the Top award - Like the 777 example) in one cycle (Unless somebody proves to me otherwise)

The Randomness of that particular cycle allots wins randomly from within the cycle and is set to maintain the RTP within the cycle...

The cycle may be huge or a bit smaller (in the case of reels). Video Slots have bigger cycles (in the millions) but your RTP ensures that the Slot holds the set percentage within the cycle.

Just my 2 cents
