Are Slot Machine Bonus Rounds Predetermined?

Hi everyone, I live in a large gaming Canadian gaming market. Specifically, Ontario. I have been a slot player for many years. I have always believed that bonus rounds were based on my choices. Many times I would pick a lousy bonus round and become very frustrated. My friend has recently been employed by Ontario Lottery and Gaming, the owner of all the casinos in the province, which primarily is the government of Ontario. During orientation, he was told how the machines work. He questioned how the bonus rounds operate and was told that all bonus rounds are predetermined. No matter what I pick, the results would always be the same. Just wondering if anyone out there knows for sure. I would really like to be enlightened.

Thanks.
