Realtime Gaming Slots RNG Question

From what I understand, in online slot games, the outcome is determined at the time you press the spin button.

Is this the case in Realtime Gaming and the relatively new RTG derivative NuWorks who have the option to stop the reels, or would the outcome rather be determined at the time you press the 'Stop' button?

In my experience, the rng is chosen when you press the spin button. Stopping the reels only adds to the illusion of control.

I agree with CrystalMath.

I agree with CrystalMath.

So do I.

I guess one can always dream.

OK, so I am assuming that the RNG is running at the casino, and the visitors game is synced with it at the time the game loads. Is this correct?

Not sure about regulations, but from a technical point of view something like this would be a robust way:

The RNG runs at the game provider. When you hit the spin button the game provider is contacted, and the game provider draws a new random variable.
Based on that random variable, the game provider sends your visitor game the result for that specific game you are playing, and makes all money transactions. This all happens in a split second.

The visitor game (that's the piece of software you as a player are looking at) knows the result right after you hit the spin button. However it displays all kind of funky-blinky animation all ending with the previously transferred result, and displaying the (already performed) cash transactions.


There is no syncing necessary. All results are determined by the game provider first hand. What happens on your side doesn't matter as far as the game is concerned.

thanks a lot for the info.

So does each slot game or wager amount have its own RNG? Or is it just one RNG for each casino?

I have never hear about it. Is it true?

Each different game would have one, much like each different machine in a B&M casino will have its own.
