The random number generator (RNG) chip in modern slot machines decides the outcome of a spin. It generates numbers across a massive spectrum and assigns them to the individual reels, but the odds of hitting a certain symbol are not equal for all symbols. For instance, the number of “stops” on a physical reel determines the frequency with which a symbol can appear on a payline. Lower paying symbols typically have more stops, while higher jackpot symbols have fewer. This skews the odds of winning, even though players cannot control the outcome of a spin.
