Understanding RNG (Random Number Generator)
RNG stands for Random Number Generator. In the context of online and land-based casinos, an RNG is a computer algorithm or hardware device used to generate random and unpredictable outcomes in games such as:
-
Slot machines
-
Roulette
-
Card games (e.g., blackjack, poker)
The main function of an RNG is to ensure fairness and impartiality in all game results.
How RNG Determines Game Outcomes
Each time a player initiates a game action—such as pressing the "Spin" button on a slot machine—the RNG instantly selects a random number. This number corresponds to a specific outcome, such as:
-
The arrangement of symbols on slot reels
-
The result of a roulette spin
-
The distribution of cards in a game
Key Details:
-
Continuous Operation: The RNG runs continuously, even when no one is playing, producing thousands of random numbers per second.
-
Independent Results: Every game action (spin, deal, etc.) is completely independent of past or future actions.
-
No Predictability: Game outcomes cannot be influenced by external factors, time of play, or the number of previous wins or losses.
Why RNG Matters

-
