\"\"A random number generator (RNG) is an important part of slot machines. But many players mistakenly assume that the RNG determines slots payback.<\/p>\n

This isn’t true, because other elements control slots payout percentages. Find out exactly what determines payback along with what the RNG really does.<\/p>\n

What Is the RNG?<\/h2>\n

A random number generator cycles through countless number combinations, each of which represents a different spin result.<\/p>\n

For example, one random number sequence might deliver the lowest payout available. Another number combination will deliver you the jackpot.<\/p>\n

Every slot machine has an RNG that’s used to cycle through number sequences and determine payouts.<\/p>\n

The Role of the RNG<\/h2>\n

\"\"The role of the random number generator, plain and simple, is to deliver random results. Casinos are supposed to offer randomization to ensure fair gaming.<\/p>\n

Otherwise, gamblers might think that a casino is cheating. Imagine if a blackjack dealer dealt players 10 low cards in a row, only to deliver themselves an ace and 10 (a.k.a. blackjack) every time.<\/p>\n

Everybody at the table would suspect that the casino was cheating, because the results follow a predictable pattern rather than being random.<\/p>\n

The same concept is true of slots, where casinos need to ensure that results are randomized and in line with industry standards.<\/p>\n

What Determines Slots Payback?<\/h2>\n

The thought that the RNG determines slots payback is off base. Instead, the pay table and amount of “stops” for each symbol determines payback.<\/p>\n

The pay table shows how much each icon offers players. For example, five eagles might deliver 10,000 coins, while five pigeons will only pay 10 coins.<\/p>\n

Symbols that have more stops are more likely to be chosen by the RNG. And the lower paying icons like the pigeon will have more stops.<\/p>\n

As you can see, the RNG’s job is merely to choose symbols based on their amount of stops. This program does not, however, decide how much long-term payback you’ll receive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
