The initial "decision" on a slot spin is not random. The "software" first determines whether or not the spin will be a "win" or a "loss" based on the programmed payout percentage ( it could be based on an amount allowed to be paid out for a 24 hour period, or 2 days or whatever. That I don't know ). Now we'll say that the "software" has determined that a win is in order, based on it's current overall earnings (reels are still spinning folks
) It is allowed to give out, say, $5 in this instance. It will have a certain amount of $5 win combinations it can display. Here's where the "random" comes in. That is how casinos can say that the spins are random. The winning amount/ losing outcomes are determined as soon as you "click" your button. At least the pretty picture combinations are random
But hey, does it really matter. I think most of us already knew this subconsciously anyway. Does anybody really believe that it's possible to program a machine and have it generate wins/loses 100% randomly over a certain period, with a very specific payout outcome ? Really?
