How Slot Machines Work

  • Myth – Slot machines have a set pattern or sequence of spins that can be determined through careful study.
  • Fact – Slot machine wins and losses are produced by a random number generator (RNG). The RNG continuously cycles through millions of number combinations at a rate of 2000-5000 per second.
