Not to be argumentative but because I know slot machines don't always do this let me state: you are not changing the final result by hitting the button a second time to stop the wheels. the spinning of the wheels is just to build excitement. The moment you hit the button to start the game, the random numbers are chosen. I'm just curious if the outcome is determined at the initiation, which would mean the outcome is the exact same whether or not I stop the reels early, or if the outcome is determined at some later point, which might mean I get a different outcome depending on when I stop the reels. I know that stopping the reels early has zero effect on that. I am not asking if I am changing my chances of a win. When I use the button to stop the reels, am I getting a different outcome than I would have gotten had I let the reels stop on their own? However, when I am playing a slot machine, I can hit the button at any time to stop the reels sooner than they would have stopped. The reels are purely there for visuals for the player. If I understand the new slots, the outcome is solely determined by the electronics. Is the outcome determined at some later time after the reels have started spinning? Is the outcome determined when the button is pressed to initiate the spin sequence, or
My question is, when does the slot machine determine what the spin result will be?
