I have recently mentioned on a couple of threads that MG casinos give you the value of a win on your balance as soon as you press 'spin' and the reels even stop. This is because (although some disagreed with me) you have simply chosen a random value on the server and a video of pseudo reels is then generated from a library of computer graphic videos that corresponds to that value - there can be tens of different videos that can show the same value win by different reels combinations. Some disagreed, pointing me to a page (I forget his name) whereby a maths professor explains 'how slot reels work' as if each reel stops randomly....
This might be the case in mechanical reeled landbased slots (although I doubt it on many of them) and I voiced the opinion from a programming perspective that a videoslot/onlineslot doesn't need to do this; it would be pointless and make thousands of unnecessary lines of code. All you need is video generation relating to the values of the RNG with symbols and their combination awards to produce life-like reels.
I understand there are still some players who believe that reels stop independently of each other on their favourite games.
Take a look at Hitman if you are a flash or download MG player. Watch reels 1 and 5 spinning. You will see our infamous Hitman, with his unmistakable white background ready to expand, spinning round. Only problem here is that Hitman wild doesn't appear on reels 1 and 5, only 2,3,4,!!!
Lazy videographic programming - his image has been added erroneously to the selection of symbol strips which are flashed by to give the impression of reels. They didn't make the mistake on the green bonus symbols - they only flash by on 3,4,5 as they should.
Stll think the reels are relevant in online slot playing???
