Although the RNG is random, it does allow for some tweaking of individual machines. For example, although the machines appear to have only 20 different symbols on each reel, the RNG creates virtual reels that actually have many more possibilities. This option creates bigger jackpots, but it also allows casinos to adjust the odds (or payback) for each machine. So, two identical machines can sit side by side, yet their odds for winning can be different.
But don’t misunderstand. The casino doesn’t change the payouts at will. There is no magic switch that allows an evil slot supervisor behind the green curtain to crank back the odds when the casino is losing. Reprogramming the RNG chips requires a great deal of paperwork and effort, so this adjustment is rare after the machines are on the floor. The manufacturer usually sets the exact payback before shipping the machine to the casino.
