Questions about gambling?
Our experts explain
Are slot machine outcomes random or programmed?
Answer
All prizes are awarded randomly, whereas the chances to win are programmed according to the return-to-player (RTP) rate. However, the outcome of the spins is entirely random; it’s solely based on chance.
