The random number generator, or RNG, is the algorithm that determines all outcomes on slot machines, including whether you win or lose. This computer program is designed to ensure that every spin is independent of the last, so that each machine has the same probability of producing a winning combination. The RNG also determines how much each spin costs, and the maximum amount that can be won.
To win a slot, you must bet the maximum amount allowed. You can find the minimum and maximum bets for each machine by looking at its paytable, which is typically displayed above the reels. It will tell you which symbols are worth what prizes, and the odds of hitting them. You can also check the payout table on the machine if it has one — through a ‘help’ button or ‘i’ on its touch screens, for example – or ask a slot attendant for assistance.
You can add synonyms for a slot type so that Dialog Engine recognizes different variations of the same name. To add a synonym, select the allow synonyms checkbox next to the slot type.
