This is a general question and not aimed at any one slot, but how do they work? Is there a big database of results and each time you spin it randomly picks one out come from the database, or is it more a random spin of the reels and then calculates the outcome (this is unlikely as metal casino used to update my balance before reels stop) and also do they track single players spins so it knows you have had a big win so the likely hood of another big win soon is less, they must track something for the likes of extra chilli to keep your reduced bonus buy record. Any way I’m sure they will be lots of theory’s but would also be good to hear from people in the know on just how they do work cheers

As far as I’m aware, while slots are required to be random, some of the details as to how they are random are at the manufacturer’s discretion. So as long as the bet outcome was fundamentally determined at random, whether that’s by ranges for possible win values or whether the reel position stops are random and wins are calculated off that is allowed to vary between slots. I’ve certainly never seen any technical guideline from the Ganbling Commission to suggest otherwise, though there may perhaps be more full implementation requirements than those in the publicly published policy documents I can access.

I believe @BioHazard summed it up perfectly in another thread, ill try and find it now.

With land-based slots, there are thousands of random strings generated each second, and the second you press spin, it stops and allocates you the win determined by that string. I’ve always assumed online slots work in a similar way, with these strings being generated on the providers server.

As to what data is held, basically each spin ID, date/time, user ID, amount wagered and amount won are all tracked. This information is held by both the casino and the provider. This information is never used to manipulate a future outcome. Online slots are not compensated like pub slots are.

Finally, as to reduced bonus buy record, bonus feature progress etc. on certain slots, I’ve always wondered this one. I guess the casino and the provider have a relationship where the user ID is shared, and the corresponding slot information is held on the providers server as to how much your bonus buy is on each stake etc. – almost like how cookies are saved on our internet browsers, only I guess these have to be much more robust, secure and durable.

I should probably save whatever I wrote last time, as this question comes up a lot and I always end up reinventing the wheel ?

so that covers the basic spin all based on the split second you press start so quick spin or manual spin can be more effective than auto spins as they are as more random intervals but then moving on to bonus which isn’t really covered in that link, streams always refer to the programming when a 0 or 1 x bonus comes up, so are the bonus not played out the same as the base game

So regardless of when you spin, or the consistency of which, this has no determinable impact on the outcome. It’s random regardless, so there is no method which is more effective.

The zero bonus comment that streamers often make (I know Bandit does this one a lot), is because, the random spin string that was generated was worth nothing, however its “instructions” so to speak are to visually display a bonus round. The outcome is already determined (in most cases, not all), so why put the player through an entire bonus round just for a zero win. Hope I’ve explained that well enough and it makes sense.

Bio is right on the stored journey based slots. So kingmaker for example you spin and it collects multipliers. when the casino verifies you have the funds in your account and sends the spin request to the game provider it tags in your unique player ID. This is just a set of numbers, our for example on kingmaker would be RBTG5981282 or something. Relax BigtimeGaming then the player ID. The providers sends this result back with the same code and it tracks like this. Clever really.

Some slots work in every different ways. the best example is Jammin Jars. As this slot was so hard to make, they only game us with i believe 1.6million win rounds. So you will see the same results often on streams, a video was made on this. That game is more of a very fun scratch card. The RNG will select a result and one of those 1,6million win rounds will be shown, or its one of the many more loss screens. Compare this to Book of Dead, where the game can do any random event of reels and symbols based on what the win will be.

I prefer to think of it as a roulette wheel with 1billion numbers. Some of those are 0. Some are 1x. Some are 20x. A few will be 5,000x. Whichever one the ball lands in when you press spin will give you a visual image of that result.

And just incase anyone asks again – no the casino has no effect or possible control over the game result
