What is the Random Number Generator? (RNG)

RNG stands for Random Number Generator. In a casino, an RNG is a computer program or device that generates random numbers to determine the outcome of various games, such as slot machines, roulette, or card games. The purpose of an RNG is to ensure that game results are fair and unbiased. It produces a sequence of numbers that cannot be predicted or manipulated, making game outcomes appear random and unpredictable.

When you press the spin button or pull the lever on a slot machine, the RNG quickly selects a random number. Based on that number, the game determines which symbols will appear on the reels and whether you will win or lose. Even when there are no players, the RNG continues to generate random numbers behind the scenes. This ensures that when someone plays the game, the outcome is based on the random number generated at that very moment, not on external factors or previous results.

The RNG ensures that each spin is independent and random, so there is no way to predict or manipulate the outcome. It's similar to flipping a fair coin or rolling a die—every time you do it, the result is unpredictable. Using RNGs helps prevent cheating and ensures that every player has an equal chance of winning. This adds an element of luck and excitement to games because you never know which number the RNG will generate next, and that's what makes gambling in a casino thrilling and unpredictable
