How random is the wheel rotation
How random is the spin of the prize wheel in the slots
Material refers to "What are prize wheel slots?" and discloses the operating principles of the random number generator (RNG), which determines the outcome of the spin of the bonus wheel, as well as factors precluding predictability or "tweaking" of the outcome.
1. How the result of rotation is determined
RNG as a basis: a random number generator is a software algorithm that generates a long sequence of numbers every millisecond.
Fixing the result before animation: as soon as the player activates the wheel, the system instantly selects a random number that corresponds to a certain sector.
Animation - visualization: the rotation that the player sees is only a graphical implementation of an already defined outcome.
2. Independence of each rotation
There is no "memory" at the wheel: the result of a new rotation does not depend on previous wins or losses.
Lack of cycle: There are no hidden patterns that the player can track.
Equal chances within the framework of the game's mathematics: the probability of each sector falling out corresponds to the mechanics laid down in the slot.
3. Provider and License Role
RNG Certification: Independent laboratories test random number generators against randomness standards.
Regulatory control: Licensed providers cannot change mechanics without retesting.
Transparency of mechanics: honest studios publish data on the chances of prizes.
4. Why it sometimes feels like the wheel "isn't random"
Cognitive biases: Players tend to see patterns in random events.
The effect of frequent small winnings: Mechanics can be set up to often drop small prizes, creating the illusion of "programmed."
Emotional perception of losses: negative results are remembered more than successful ones.
5. Where there is a risk of loss of chance
Unlicensed platforms: Using fake or modified versions of games.
Local intervention: in pirated copies, the mechanics can be changed for controlled results.
Lack of RNG verification: Games without a certificate of chance are potentially dangerous.
Result
In licensed slots, the rotation of the prize wheel is completely random within the inherent mathematical probabilities. Each rotation is an independent event determined by a certified RNG, and the visible animation only reflects a pre-calculated random result.
