Can the bonus result be affected

1. How the bonus result is determined

In most modern slots with Pick & Click mechanics, the outcome of the bonus is generated by a random number generator (RNG). The algorithm creates a set of prizes and their location even before the player is selected. This means:
  • the location of each prize is predetermined;
  • Object selection does not change a distribution that has already been defined
  • the order of clicks does not affect the winning total.

In some games, RNG can form a result immediately after each click, but the principle remains the same - the combination is determined by chance and without the possibility of interference from the player.

2. Myths about player influence

Myth 1: "You can remember the location of the prizes"
Not possible because items are generated randomly each time the bonus is started.

Myth 2: "There are good zones on the screen"
In slots with a uniform distribution of prizes, all zones have the same probability.

Myth 3: "Choosing by intuition or color gives better results"
This is a psychological device of engagement, but statistically the chances do not change.

3. When choice really matters

There are rare Pick & Click variants where:
  • prizes are distributed in a fixed order (in older slots or individual themed games);
  • there is an element of pick-until-collect *, where you can end the bonus ahead of schedule - then selection tactics (for example, a careful strategy with the choice of extreme cells) can extend the round and increase the potential gain.

However, even in these cases, the result still depends on chance, and the strategy only changes the likelihood of premature termination.

4. The role of strategy

Strategy at Pick & Click:
  • does not change the expectation of winning;
  • helps to hold the bonus process longer (in pick-until-collect);
  • improves the perception and psychological comfort of the player.

Example of application:
  • In multilevel bonuses (for example, with the transition to the next stage), the selection strategy can be aimed at obtaining multipliers in the early stages in order to strengthen the final payments.

5. Result

It is impossible to influence the Pick & Click result in modern licensed slots in the literal sense - all outcomes are determined by RNG, and the generator operates under the control of regulators and certification companies.
The player can only choose a suitable strategy for controlling the gameplay, but not for a guaranteed increase in winnings.
