slot machine operations

A slot machine works by using a random number generator (RNG) to determine outcomes. When a player presses the spin button, the RNG randomly selects a combination of symbols on the reels, which then spin and stop accordingly. If the symbols line up in a winning pattern, the machine pays out a prize based on the paytable. The odds are programmed to favor the house over time, making each spin independent of previous results. Modern slot machines often include bonus features and progressive jackpots, but their core operation remains the use of RNG to ensure fair, random outcomes.
