How Slot Machines Work

Many people don't know how slot machines work, and many people think that the modern day slot machine is still mechanical. Ever since the computer chip was developed the slot machine became a computer. We will try to explane in simple terms how slot machines work.

Modern Slot Machines work on a computer program that randomly selects winning combinations. This function of the program is called a random number generator (RNG). This RNG is constantly generating numbers at an unbelievable rate. When you hit the spin button the computer gets the numbers at that instant in time. The RNG keeps running but the numbers have already been select for that spin.

Let’s make a sample run and hit the spin button, at that instant the RNG has the following numbers for a three reel slot machine. 3-0-1. Now we will convert these numbers to the symbols on the reels.

0 = Cherries
1 = 1 bar
2 = 2 bars
3 = 3 bars
4 = orange

As you can see the number that was generated is 3-0-1. Using our conversion chart the left reel will be a 3 bars, the middle reel will be a cherry and the right reel will be a 1 bar. It is that simple. The computer will stop the reels at the right symbols on the payline. There is very little that is mechanical in today’s slot machines.

The odds for the payouts are set by the casino and there is no skill to winning at these machine, it is strictly luck.

Basically this is how slot machines work
