Clarification Needed
Does a slot machine predetermine the outcome before the spin button is pressed, or does timing and bet variation change the result?
hey so i beleive the slot only figures the outcome when u hit spin. no secret pre-calculation based on bet timing. it just fires up the rng then, so don’t stress too much about your bet speed, just enjoy the play!
in my experiense, i’ve found that the outcome is determined exactly when the spin is pressed, not before. the rng becomes activated at that moment and follows the algorithm and probabilities set in its code. adjustments in timing or bet placement after the spin button is hit have no impact on the result. even if some slight differences in response time occur, they do not alter the result since the process is executed in real time. this reflects the design of modern slot machines which rely on this immediate activation process
hey so after some reading, i think the rng sets things as soon as you press spin, not up to your bet timing. the result is pretty much predetermined in code, definetly not random in the sense of your input affecting outcome.
Hey everyone! I’ve been thinking about this too, and my take is that the magic really happens when you hit spin. The slot machine’s algorithm, particularly the RNG, is set into motion right at that point—not before. What I mean is, while the game is built around certain probability rules and tables that define the overall payouts and odds, each individual spin is calculated anew. So no matter how quickly or slowly you press the button, it’s that moment of spinning that decides your fate. It’s like every spin is its own little experiment—you can’t really arm-twist the system by fiddling with your timing. Hope that adds a bit more clarity. Happy spinning and good luck out there! 
i have observed from both technical literature and personal experience that slot machines do not set the outcome until the spin is actually triggered. The internal design relies on an rng that initiates when the spin command is registered, meaning that while the possibilities are defined in advance by the algorithm, the final display is decided in real time. minor variations in timing or bet placement are not typically factored in, ensuring the machine follows its programmed random outcome process, which, in most modern systems, is robust.
