Random
Number Generator
Random number generator
are computer programs designed to return game results to
completely mimic those you'd find in real life. The way
random number generator programs work is best described
as the same as picking a name out of a hat. One chance per
person, every person has an equal chance of winning. I
should mention however that the RNG lists the possible
results instead of putting them on pieces of paper. Then
instead of shaking up the hat, the random number
generator scroll through the list of possible
results thousands of times a second and throw one out
randomly when a result is requested.
Lets
suppose however we wanted to add those names in respect to how many
chances a person bought instead of just adding their name one time. So
if Mr. Smith was to buy 5 chances, then his name would be added 5 times.
So
now taking this to an understanding of ... lets say blackjack. The
random number generator would then have added into its virtual hat, one
piece of paper for every possible result remaining in that hand. So if
you'd been dealt an ace and a five, and the dealer was dealt an ace and
a five, the possible results remaining that would be on the rotating
list of the RNG would be every card in a full deck except two aces and
two fives (playing single deck game).

Another example of how a RNG works is to use the slot machine. Lets say
we have a slot machine where we want to set the random number generators
to pay off one out of one hundred chances, and that nine of those one
hundred chances we'll return a free spin. One hundred spots would be
placed on the rotating list, ninety would be losers, nine would be free
spins, and one spot would be the jackpot. When the player hits the spin
button the rotating list stops spinning ... much like a wheel of fortune
would do with 100 slots on it when it spins to a stop, the difference
being that the RNG stops the second the button is pushed because it is
constantly rotating the possible results. These programs are checked for
randomness and odds by other casino software that is capable of running
through the system at thousands of times faster than a human being ever
could.
Understanding how a random number generator works should help you to
avoid thinking you're due to hit a winner because as mentioned every
time you start a new game or spin the slots the odds revert back to
their original beginning, meaning if the odds of hitting a jackpot on a
slot machine are 4000 to one, then every time you spin the slots you
have one spot on an imaginary wheel of fortune with 3,999 spots that
will not be a jackpot.
