It’s a computer program that spits out results (seemingly) at random.
After all, the goal of the slot machine is for the house to make money. The math behind slot machines is quite involved: much too involved for a Stack Overflow answer. How you generate the random.
There are different types of RNGs. The ones casinos use are called pseudo random number generators. What makes these unique is that they don’t need any external input (numbers or data) to produce an output. All they need is an algorithm and seed number.

- How to Play Slot Machine. To play slot machine, just click the 'Play' button. After the spinning stopped, the winner will be displayed. After the winner is displayed, the 'Remove Winner Name' button will appear so you can remove the winner.
- RNG and the outcomes for slot machines. In a slot machine, random numbers are continually and consistently being generated, even when no game is being played. The outcomes of the algorithm are always being calculated, thousands per second. These calculations are being performed by the main server in which all the slot machines are connected to.
New seed numbers (and results) are produced every millisecond. This is done simply by taking the last number or two produced and then using a mathematic operation (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, etc.) to create a new ‘random’ outcome.
But because there’s nothing random about mathematic operations – i.e. 1+1 will always equal 2 – a certain input will always yield the same output. That’s why RNGs aren’t truly random.

It’s also the reason why RNGs are hackable. Algorithms (and their operations) are fixed.

And there are only so many known algorithms in the world. If someone knew what algorithm(s) and seed number(s) casinos used, they could use that information to cheat the casinos out of millions of dollars.
We’ll show you an example later on of someone that did just that.
